The Foundation collaborated with the Caux Democracy Forum 2025, themed “Revitalizing Democracy – Towards Inclusive and Peaceful Societies Across Europe and the World,” which brought together over 350 participants from more than 45 countries.

At the Forum’s invitation, Freedom Cartoonists brought in two editorial cartoonists from the Global South: Gado (Kenya), a member of our Advisory Board, and Willis from Tunis (Tunisia). As part of this collaboration, we supported several activities, including the editorial cartoon exhibition “Democracy? What Democracy?!”. Gado made the trip to Caux to represent the Foundation, engage in discussions, and meet participants.

Presented at the Caux Palace over the summer, the exhibition gathered around forty works addressing the challenges, contradictions, and hopes surrounding contemporary democracies. It drew strong interest among Forum participants and other visitors.

Following this successful cooperation, the Caux Forum has invited the Foundation to continue contributing to future editions. We are looking forward to consolidating and strengthening this partnership in the years ahead. This collaboration aligns closely with our mission to support press cartoonists worldwide, promote inclusive democracy, and amplify voices from under-represented regions.
