From May 13th to May 17th 2025, the second in-person meeting of the Laboratories of Democracy Initiative Cohort 2025 will take place in Toronto, Canada. The 30 state and provincial legislators from the United States, Germany, and Canada will meet with policy makers, research institutes and representatives of the private sector, and visit best practices in Ontario connected to this year’s core theme social cohesion. Furthermore, the Cohort will be focused on developing subnational policy recommendations for the three subtopics of social inclusion, civic and political participation and social mobility. The aim of the Laboratories of Democracy initiative is to promote value-based dialog and exchange on common political challenges at the subnational level. At the same time, the exchange promotes peer learning and contributes to the development of transatlantic networks.
The project is supported by the Transatlantic Program of the Federal Republic of Germany, funded by the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
