The World Forum serves as a platform where the pressing socio-political issues of our time are discussed and tackled; while providing an opportunity for official and unofficial diplomatic encounters, which may pave the way for progress on democracy and peace as well as justice and freedoms. Every suitable panel will be followed by a lawmaking workshop where blueprint legislation will be developed with the goal of being used all over the world.
