Workshop Overview

The “BRICS – a Threat to the Western Narrative?” workshop introduced participants to BRICS, the intergovernmental organization of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The session began with introductions and a warm-up activity, followed by a presentation explaining BRICS’ goals, its differences from the current Western-led world order, and the implications of its expansion since January 2024.

Participants then engaged in group discussions to explore the relevance of BRICS and how understanding alternative global perspectives can inform more peaceful and informed approaches. The workshop concluded with a plenary reflection on key insights and takeaways.
