DEMOCRACY27 | TIME TO LISTEN, TIME TO ACT
Europe values democracy.
But confidence is cracking.
Democracy27 listens to citizens and civil society across Europe to understand why confidence in democracy is weakening, and what needs to change ahead of 2027.
Built from civil society. Shaped with the Task Force. Connected to decision-making.
Why now
Most people value democracy.
Many want it to work better.
Democracy27 starts from a simple gap: support for democracy remains strong, but confidence in how democratic systems respond is weakening. The aim is not to lecture people about democracy. It is to listen to what they experience and identify what needs to change.
of EU Citizens think public distrust towards institutions & processes is the biggest challenge to democracy
of EU Citizens are unsatisfied with the way democracy works in their country
