Democracy in Action: Civic Engagement in the 21st Century

As part of the “Democracy in an Age of Uncertainty” series, join Villa Albertine for a student-moderated panel discussion on civic engagement with guests Rama Yade, Stacey Abrams, and Tara Murray. How does political engagement differ across nations and generations? Panelists explored divergent models of political identity and feelings of belonging in France and the U.S., addressing the popularity of civic engagement among young people in both countries—from performative social media posts to protesting and volunteering—and how this engagement correlated with the critical act of voting. The event additionally explored the causes, forms, and scales of civic engagement in the 21st century. Join us for a youth-oriented evening that brings together the voices of French and American politicians, think tank representatives, activists, and students. Democracy in an Age of Uncertainty, a series from Villa Albertine explored challenges to liberal democracies in France, the United States, and around the world, launched at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in September 2024. Stay tuned as the series continues with more events in 2025, including the DC edition of Villa Albertine’s landmark Night of Ideas in April and a special event at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts. “Democracy in an Age of Uncertainty: French and American Perspectives” is made possible thanks to the Judy and Peter Blum Kovler Foundation.
