The Union for Democracy is an organization dedicated to supporting the cause of democracy by building the capacities of political actors and elites, networking among Egyptian communities abroad, and enhancing their engagement with international organizations and entities in their political environment. It also seeks to promote the values of constructive dialogue among all components of Egyptian political life. The organization is registered in the United Kingdom as a non-profit entity.
With more than 14 million Egyptians abroad, representing 13% of the population, discussions arise about the effectiveness of political engagement from abroad—where to begin and how to draw inspiration from past experiences.
In this context, our workshop "Political Engagement in Exile" focused on a selection of Egyptian and international cases that highlight effective mechanisms for political action in exile, examining the reasons behind the successes of some efforts and the challenges faced by others.
