Hybrid European Democracy Festival

Hybrid European Democracy Festival is a discussion festival that seeks to connect people from all over Europe. For two days in May 2024, this festival joins people for discussions from over 20 festival hubs in European cities. The festival is a part of the European Capital of Culture Tartu 2024 main programme. The discussions will be held mostly in English

Europe is facing deepening challenges and political disruptions that require cross-border solutions and cooperation more than ever. At the same time, we rarely share the ground to talk about the ways forward together. The Hybrid European Democracy Festival happens at 15 European cities, therefore it allows for a truly international experience and thanks to that gives a possibility for thoughtful public opinion to emerge with many different perspectives.
