EUDEM

Resilient democracies

About EUDEM

The Strengthening Democratic Resilience Across Europe – EUDEM project encompasses 12 work packages (WP), 10 in-situ in Hungary, Germany, Italy, Poland and Belgium, and 2 online European wide dedicated to enhancing democratic values, social cohesion, and citizen engagement within the European Union (EU).

These WPs address critical issues such as democratic backsliding, youth disenchantment, social polarisation, and capacity building. They bring together a diverse range of stakeholders, including citizens, civil society organisations, community leaders, and policymakers. The project employs participatory methods to facilitate open dialogue, foster active citizenship, and promote inclusivity, thereby empowering individuals to actively shape the future of Europe.

Additionally, it incorporates capacity building sessions aimed at equipping participants with practical skills for participatory democracy, enabling them to contribute effectively to policy discussions. An AI survey tool is also integrated to ensure broader and more inclusive participation. Furthermore, the project’s sensemaking and harvest events analyse outcomes, distil insights, and inform innovative policymaking, contributing to a more resilient and responsive EU democracy.
