Article

Are human rights and democracy a universal size or is there a contextual difference? What does the deteriorating relations of Russia and the West mean for peace and prosperity for the people of the European continent? How do we bring climate change to the table when discussing geopolitics in the Arctic?

On November 21, Humanity in Action Denmark is a collaborating partner of CPH Conference on Western-Russian Relations. Top-level experts from Russia and the West will come together to discuss how we bridge the gap of differences. This includes ambassadors, politicians, journalists, students, researchers who all have an important perspective to share on this.

The whole conference will be streamed live from Copenhagen where the local speakers will be joining from. In addition to that, there will be digital guests from Russia at all debate sessions. Keynote speakers are respectively Russian Ambassador to Denmark Vladmir Barbin and Chair of the Foreign Policy Committee in the Danish Parliament Martin Lidegaard.
