Last week, the Magna Charta Observatory convened a thought-provoking Round Table in Sao Paulo, Brazil, focusing on "Defending Democracy and Values through International University Networks." With rising challenges to democracy and fundamental values worldwide, universities are stepping up as crucial defenders of these principles.

Key discussions revolved around the role of universities in safeguarding democracy, the significance of international academic cooperation in fostering intercultural understanding, and the potential of university networks in promoting a more inclusive and just world.

Speakers, including Marcelo Knobel, a member of the Governing Council, shed light on the importance of initiatives like the Living Values program and the development of the new version of the Magna Charta Universitatum. The event was a platform for sharing good practices and recommendations to enhance the impact of international networks.
