YOUR COUNTRY FIRST – WIN WITH US
YOUR COUNTRY FIRST – WIN WITH US
‘YOUR COUNTRY FIRST – WIN WITH US’ project took place on the occasion of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in January 2025.
The project, which combines an ongoing discussion program and an exhibition, is an immersive intellectual and visual experience, and a space for dialogue and action.
Combining an ongoing discussion program and an exhibition, providing emotional urgency, the project 'YOUR COUNTRY FIRST – WIN WITH US' showed a world at an inflection point. Global political leaders, thinkers and activists analysed geopolitical and other global implications of the war in Ukraine. The discussion program showed threats of the aggressor against countries far beyond Ukraine. It explored if and how Ukraine and her allies can muster the resolve to do what is needed. And it demonstrated Ukraine's immense assets and resources to make Europe, the West and the world more secure, strong and free, able to address global threats together and allow citizens to pursue their happiness.
