Taking a retrospective glance at the dynamic Global Young Leaders Workshop titled “Democracy Forward: Inspiring Change in Today’s World”, we highlight the invaluable insights shared by Katarína Jakubčeková, an esteemed participant and Analyst for EU Policies at the Slovakian Prime Minister’s Office.
 
This transformative gathering unfolded in Berlin from November 30 to December 3, graciously hosted by Aspen Germany in collaboration with Aspen International Partners. Over 40 vibrant young leaders converged for a stimulating agenda that encompassed seminars, simulations, social gatherings, institutional dialogues, and cultural immersions. Amidst these diverse activities, participants explored a spectrum of democracy-related subjects, engaged in discussions about the contemporary challenges facing democracy globally, and fostered connections with like-minded individuals from around the world.
 
The four days were characterized by intensive and thought-provoking sessions, leaving an indelible mark on all those in attendance. We express our gratitude for this enriching experience and eagerly anticipate sustaining our engagement with participants through the extensive Aspen global network, offering continual opportunities for collaboration and advancement.
