As part of the “Democracy in an Age of Uncertainty” series, join Villa Albertine for the third installment of the Democracy Series at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia!
The full program for the Democracy Series at the National Constitution Center is to come. This public event — a day of conversations and educational exchanges — brings together leading voices from France and the United States. Judges, authors, educators, and students will share perspectives on civic life, rights, and shared values. The program is free and open to all, both in person and online.
Democracy in an Age of Uncertainty, a series from Villa Albertine exploring challenges to liberal democracies in France, the United States, and around the world, launched at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in September 2024. Stay tuned as the series continues with more events in 2025, including the DC edition of Villa Albertine’s landmark Night of Ideas in April and a special event at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts.

National Constitution Center
Located in the historic heart of Philadelphia, the National Constitution Center (NCC) is the only U.S. institution exclusively dedicated to the Constitution of the United States. Opened in 2003, this interactive museum, civic forum, and education center is committed to deepening understanding of the U.S. Constitution and promoting democratic dialogue. Through its exhibitions, public programs, and educational resources, the NCC welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, including students, teachers, legal experts, researchers, and engaged citizens. It also serves as a vibrant space for debate, where thinkers, political leaders, and public figures come together to address major constitutional and civic issues of our time.
