MONACO 2015

Monaco 2015

The 2015 edition of the Global Citizen Forum was hosted in Monaco - the second smallest country in the world. What it lacks in size, it makes up in attitude and glam and commands a special status in Europe. Home to roughly 125 different nationalities, the Principality of Monaco is a unique example of an elite multicultural society in a European setting.

A two-day adventure
