The European Democracy Shield initiative aims to reinforce democratic resilience, fight misinformation, and encourage active citizen participation throughout the European Union. This collaborative effort unites organizations, institutions, and citizens to develop new tools and approaches that protect democratic dialogue across member states.
The project invites citizens from different EU countries to take part in workshops, consultations, and co-creation sessions. These events provide a platform for people to discuss democratic challenges, share experiences, and suggest actions that enhance societal trust and democratic engagement.
Participants will contribute to shaping the European Democracy Shield as a proactive model for preserving democratic dialogue. The initiative's outcomes will help policymakers develop evidence-based strategies to ensure resilience against disinformation and polarization.
“The European Democracy Shield is not just a policy tool — it’s a collective platform for safeguarding trust in democracy.”
The initiative represents a collaborative European movement focused on protecting democratic integrity, strengthening civic participation, and building societal resilience to disinformation.
