Festival of Europe lines up top-flight speakers to discuss recent dramatic developments on the world stage and how UK should respond
Keeping democracy healthy in Europe is key theme, says organiser.
Scotland’s second Festival of Europe is being held at the French Institute, Edinburgh, on 10th and 11th May. Backed by the European Movement in Scotland and a wide range of other organisations, a major theme of the two-day event is “The Future of European Democracy”.
The Festival comes at a time when far right parties are on the rise across Europe and, as Donald Trump’s administration changes the global order that has been in place since the end of World War 2.
