Kick off the year with #DemocracyDrinks!
Join us this Thursday, 16 January, at The Hague Humanity Hub for an evening of networking, inspiration, and meaningful conversation.
Guest speaker: Violet Benneker, PhD, NIMD’s Dialogue Expert, will share insights on how listening can be used as a radical act in defending democracy.
Don’t miss this chance to connect with fellow democracy defenders.
What are #DemocracyDrinks?
Our #DemocracyDrinks bring together democracy advocates, thinkers and enthusiasts to connect in an informal setting.
As a valuable opportunity for networking, the event will be all about making new contacts and catching up with people you know. You can test new ideas; plan common initiatives; and find moral support and inspiration.
#DemocracyDrinks were launched by Defend Democracy This link opens in a new tab in Brussels in 2018. And, since then, the idea has taken off. #DemocracyDrinks have taken place around the world, including in Washington DC, Berlin, Kathmandu and, since last year, The Hague.
Our previous #DemocracyDrinks in The Hague have attracted a lively mixture of people from NGOs, international institutions, think tanks and national government, among others.
The event series in The Hague is a collaboration between the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy This link opens in a new tab (NIMD), the Netherlands Helsinki Committee This link opens in a new tab(NHC) and The Hague Humanity Hub This link opens in a new tab.
DemocracyDrinksTheHague is a monthly networking event jointly implemented by Netherlands Helsinki Committee The Hague Humanity Hub and NIMD | Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy.
