A transnational partnership for digital democracy
Small settlements across Europe share the same struggle: vulnerable groups remain invisible to local institutions. Our project digitalises civic advocacy so that unemployed people, migrants, people with disabilities, NEETs and older citizens can finally take part in shaping the policies that affect them.
Programme priorities we address
Common values & civic engagement
Democracy and inclusive democratic participation at local level.
Digital transformation
Digital readiness, resilience and capacity for civil society.
Inclusion & diversity
Bridging intercultural, intergenerational and social divides.
What we are building
Seven coordinated activities — from field research to an international conference — turn the project's idea into a working transnational network.
