ย – Hon. Ms. Ouided Bouchamaoui (Tunisia)ย
ย – General รscar Naranjo (Colombia)ย

Together with our media partner, Economist Impact, we have created a special webpage that includes a mix of audio, visual and written material on pathways to depolarization: http://impact.economist.com/projects/path-to-depolarization
We invite you to watch this video on how to overcome polarization.
