The world is under intense pressure. Brutal geopolitical power takes precedence over humanity, inequality undermines democracy and international law is crumbling.
Forward Fest brings together policymakers, academics, journalists and civil society to redefine direction, join forces and create a hopeful future. Expect sharp analyses, fresh ideas and new strategies for international solidarity.
Geopolitics on steroids. Solidarity on fire.
Forward Fest is organized by 11.11.11, ngo-federation and VLIRUOS in collaboration with MO* with the support of Belgian development cooperation.
