Folkemødet 2025

From 12 to 14 June 2025, the annual political festival Folkemødet, or “The People’s Meeting,” will take place in Allinge on the Danish island of Bornholm. The event is an open and inclusive forum where politicians, citizens, businesses, NGOs, media and civil society groups come together to discuss political and social issues. The goal is to strengthen democracy by encouraging dialogue between decision-makers and the public in an informal setting.
