World Forum for Democracy

Professor Jürgen Pirker represented the University of Graz and the Department of Global Governance with his presentation "Language" at the World Forum for Democracy, hosted by the Anti-Discrimination Department of the Council of Europe. His session "How to Counter Discrimination and Promote Equality and Diversity to Transcend Divides in a Society?" explored the ways in which democracies can harness the power of diversity to address and mitigate issues of discrimination and exclusion. It provided a space for discussing comprehensive strategies for the inclusion of marginalised and minority groups, best practices and policy reforms for a more inclusive democracy.
