2019 AURORA DIALOGUES OVERVIEW

2019 Aurora Dialogues will take place in Armenia on October 17 – 21, 2019, during the inaugural Aurora Forum. Distinguished humanitarians, academics, philanthropists, business leaders and members of civil society will gather to drive positive action across some of the world’s most pressing humanitarian, technological, scientific, educational and social challenges.
 

The 2019 Aurora Dialogues in Armenia will be part of the first Aurora Forum program and will include 4 events:

In keeping with the spirit of the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity, the Aurora Dialogues shine a light on the people who are working to address today’s atrocities in a real and substantial manner and seek to identify solutions capable of bringing positive change.

The inaugural Aurora Dialogues were held on April 23, 2016 in Matenadaran, Yerevan. Participants, including Aurora Prize Selection Committee members Hina Jilani, Shirin Ebadi and Gareth Evans, offered their views on the global refugee crisis, the role of women in the humanitarian community, and the role of the media in bringing humanitarian crises to the world’s attention.

In 2017, similar events took place in Yerevan and Berlin, whereas the 2018 Aurora Dialogues were held in New York (in March and September), Moscow, Yerevan and Berlin.
