Democracy requires more than institutions—it demands spaces where citizens can engage, deliberate, and shape their shared future. Johns Hopkins SNF Agora Institute draws its name from the ancient Athenian agora, a central space in the city that was a place of open conversation and debate for all citizens. Learn more about their new building on the Baltimore Homewood campus, designed by world renowned architecture firm Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW). You'll also hear from SNF Agora Faculty about how they are creating modern agoras in their classrooms, communities, and around the globe. Learn more about the building here.
