About Event

Across the world, democracy is facing mounting challenges—increased polarization and declining trust in elected officials and representative systems. What is fuelling this shift? And how can we bridge divides and build more responsive, inclusive, and effective democratic systems for the future?

Join us for a compelling discussion at the 2025 Marmalade Festival in Oxford, where Richard Wike, Director of Global Attitudes Research at Pew Research Center, will present key insights from global surveys on the state of democracy and a panel conversation will explore implications.

Through data on global public opinion, expert analysis, and interactive dialogue, this session will unpack the forces shaping democracy today and explore pathways to revitalizing representation in a new era of governance. Whether you’re a policymaker, funder, activist, researcher, or engaged citizen, this event offers an opportunity to reflect on democracy’s future and your role in shaping it.

Capacity: 60 maximum.
