Feedback Survey "The Alliance of the Last Democracies"

Thank you for taking part in a performance of "The Alliance of the Last Democracies" in the role of the Swiss delegation. The project is continuing: in 2027 we are developing it further together with the support of the Mercator Foundation. Your answers will feed directly into this further development. Participation is voluntary and can be done anonymously. The questions marked with * are required to submit the survey.

If you would like to be informed about future editions or developments, you can voluntarily provide your contact information at the end.

The questionnaire takes approx. 6–8 minutes.
