As an IR and Diplomacy student and passionate, I envision the World Forum for Democracy as a crucial step towards a new beginning for democratic values and youth empowerment. The latest developments have raised awareness on how democracy can be fragile, and, at the same time, how pivotal it is for us, nowadays, to revitalize it. During my years working for United Network - a NGO affiliated to the UN Department of Global Communications, with a consultative status within the UN ECOSOC, which operates to create and promote innovative learning strategies and projects for young people - I understood how engaging events and participation is a fundamental step to strengthen democratic values and principles, promoting mutual respect and, eventually, enhancing human rights - as a final goal.
