Penn Kemble forum
The Penn Kemble Democracy Forum aims to foster an intelligent discussion about the nature of democratic development among Washington’s young foreign policy professionals.
The Forum convenes monthly to discuss the ideas and realities that drive the world today, and provides additional opportunities for networking, mentorship, and learning. The monthly round table discussions are led by key foreign policy experts, government officials (past and present), democracy practitioners, and civil society experts. In 2015-16, Penn Kemble Fellows met with Ambassador Melanne Verveer, Dr. Francis Fukuyama, Azar Nafisi (Reading Lolita in Tehran), and many others.
The Forum will run this year from October 2016 to June 2017. It is organized and sponsored by the National Endowment for Democracy with the assistance of a distinguished advisory committee of scholars and practitioners.
