The 2024 Global Forum on Modern Direct Democracy will take place in Bucharest from 15-18 May 2024. The Global Forum, a free and public event, is the world’s largest gathering devoted to issues of direct democracy and citizen participation.

Please use this form to send in your proposal for the Global Forum programme, both for presentations and for workshops focussing on today’s challenges to democracy, and offering better visions of the democratic future.

We are particularly interested in proposals concerning: 
1) How can democracy and its tools prevent wars and make peace? 
2) EUROSFAT - European democracy and participatory mechanisms
3) Informing democracy: Unveiling the role of media and technology
4) Is local democracy the last hope?

You can read about the thematic focus we are aiming for in detail here.

We are open to proposals from anyone—scholars, election officials, journalists, activists, NGOs, governments of all levels, businesses, and everyday people.

The deadline has now passed, if you are planning to join us in Bucharest and want to make a contribution to the programme, please contact us on info@2024globalforum.com
