Change democracy: Symposium illuminates challenges and solutions!

at a time when both global and social challenges put trust in democratic institutions to the test, it is more important than ever to act actively for the values of democracy. Discussions about topics such as climate change or manipulation on social media were recently initiated at a symposium in Karlsruhe, which took place on October 10th. This event, which took place in the Center for Art and Media, dealt with the essential role of direct exchange and encounter for the functioning of a living democracy.

The chairman of the Baden-Württemberg State Association, Manuel Amberger, also took part in the important event. He emphasized that the protection of democracy in these turbulent times requires a collective effort. The focus was on the question of how access to democratic processes can be preserved and promoted. Dr. Cord Brügmann, Director of the Foundation Forum Recht, gave an informative lecture on the subject of "Access to the right as democratic participation" as part of the symposium. In his lecture, he devoted himself to the urgency of access to the law enforcement, which begins with state courts before the formal conflict resolution.

hurdles and solutions

dr. Brügmann argued that many citizens are often confronted with considerable hurdles if they wanted to assert their rights. These challenges can lead to individuals refraining from legal possibilities, which ultimately undermines democratic participation and trust in the state institutions. It is therefore essential not only to take into account legislation, but also to pay attention to how it is implemented in practice.

The symposium created a framework for exchange via possible solutions to improve access to legal information and procedures. Dr. Brügmann presented various suggestions on how the various actors, including educational institutions and legal protection organizations, can work together to reduce barriers and thus create a more fairer and accessible society.

Overall, the symposium made it clear that the protection of democracy and access rightly represent an ongoing challenge that concerns both politics and civil society. The commitment and cooperation of everyone involved are essential to achieve positive changes and maintain democracy.

For further information on the topics treated in the symposium, as well as the lectures, it is advisable to consult the comprehensive reports. So it becomes clear how important it is to fight even in difficult times for the fundamental rights and freedoms of all citizens, and to draw attention to the challenges that affect democracy current and in the future.
