Dear colleagues and friends from the Danube region and other European countries,
as part of the Fit4Democracy project, we are creating a so called “toolbox”:
We will collect simple, everyday activities that help people participate in democracy. These activities should be easy to do, don’t require much time or money, and connect to participatory democracy.
We are looking for successful practice examples you have been a part of from different countries that contribute to strengthening democracy. These examples should serve as inspiration to implement in your own context and to encourage the development of new ideas. The primary target group is not administrative bodies, political or business representatives, professional associations, but the citizens themselves (although they may act as supporting local partners in many initiatives)! Many activities in this area have already been implemented to promote democracy, but there are many others that are well suited for this context and not yet on our list – we are looking for them!
We therefore invite you to support us with your own ideas – reflect, what example you know and what you could contribute to our toolbox. You can then submit these ideas you would like to share with others via an online form with a suitable picture.
To submit we kindly ask you the fill out the following form: https://www.umfrageonline.com/c/vkrc7v94
The submissions will be checked by ILEU to ensure that they meet the requirements (clear reference to the topic of participatory democracy, easy to do, don’t require much time or money).
We will then enter the examples on our project website (to get inspired of what could be submitted you can also have a look at the examples we have already uploaded): https://toolbox.fit4democracy.eu/method/.
The goal is to gather as many best practice examples as possible which can be accessed by all interested people.
If you have questions / are unsure if your example fits you can contact us before filling out the form: democracy@ileu.net . If you would like to submit multiple examples, please fill out a new form for each one. Enclosed we send you the form as a pdf so you can have a look at what information is required before you start to fill out the form.
The form is available in different languages (Note: these are automatic translations, if anything is unclear, please let us know) but if possible, please fill out the form in English.
Thank you very much for your support!
All the best in the name of the ILEU team
