Every citizen should be given the means to engage, but many have not had the experience, resources, or know-how, to properly become part of the discussion.
This is why we want to build the knowledge, tools, and support, together with citizens and civil society across Europe, to enable them and others to actively participate in their democracy and help shape the future of Europe. And for this purpose, we set up an ongoing consultation.
Over two years, Citizens’ Action for Democracy (CitiDem) will hold local citizen assemblies in 8 EU countries. The topics of the assemblies include: Disinformation and online participation; Climate crisis, climate justice, the circular economy and the green transition; Comparison of domestic and European democracy; Diversity, inclusion, and non-discrimination; Participation of non-citizens/migrants; Rights of mobile and marginalised workers; and Youth empowerment.
