Making democracy work for everyone

A networked organisation, we work across Europe to connect citizens with the decisions that shape their lives.

Connecting people and power

We have been working to support democracy since 2010. In that time we have undertaken numerous projects and worked with thousands of participants. We create opportunities for people to take part in democracy.
