Democracy Cracks - Trailer

Democracy Cracks is a six-episode podcast mini-series exploring the cracks in our democratic systems, from weakening trust to widening social divides, through storytelling, research, and thoughtful conversation, narrated by Eva Ribera, TEPSA's Programme Manager and EU policy professional.  Produced as part of ActEU, a Horizon Europe research project looking at trust, participation, and how democracy is changing in Europe, the series brings in science and stories to help answer a central question: is democracy breaking or breaking through?   Eva Ribera is Programme Manager at TEPSA. She coordinates the work of TEPSA’s Secretariat, working closely with Project Managers and Communications staff to ensure the effective implementation of the organisation’s activities. She holds an MA in International Relations (Security, Peace and Conflicts) from the Free University of Brussels and a BA in Social Sciences from Bordeaux Montaigne University. Her academic research focuses on democracy, fundamental rights, transitional justice, gender-just peace, and collective action.   Host & writing: Eva Ribera Production: Florence Ferrando & Barbara Vanotti Editorial review: Mariam Khotenashvili, Alexandros-Christos Gkotinakos & Ilaria Giustacchini Music: Nicolas Gadrat  This podcast is funded by the European Union.
