Wednesday, June 2, 2021

In recognition of the ongoing 100-year jubilee of Swedish democracy, the Media & Democracy project International Youth Think Tank is organizing a 90-minute event – Almedalen Democracy Summit – during this summer's digital Almedalen week. A keynote speech will be delivered by Madeleine Albright, former United States Secretary of State.

Almedalen Democracy Summit is arranged on July 7 in collaboration with Athens Democracy Forum, International IDEA, and the Stockholm Philanthropy Symposium.
Swedish foreign minister Ann Linde will introduce the event and a keynote speech will be delivered by Madeleine Albright, former U. S. Secretary of State. 

"The purpose of the event is to discuss the challenges and opportunities of modern democracy, with a focus on solutions for a sustainable and inclusive future", says Urban Strandberg, director and founder of IYTT.

The event convenes experts and decision makers from around the world, including two of the International Youth Think Thank's Youth Fellows. Daniel H. Uruijo will present the Citizens’ assemblies’ policy brief, written by the IYC2019 Youth Fellows, and Julia Strandquist will present the global charter for truth policy brief, written by the IYC2020 Youth Fellows.
