Brief Intro
The European Capital of Democracy is a Europe-wide initiative to innovate and strengthen democracy. From 2022, each year one city will be selected in a five-stage process – by a jury of experts and a jury of 10,000 European citizens – and granted this honorary title.

Visitors from all over Europe – politicians, experts, civil society actors, artists, citizens and media representatives – are invited to take part in the initiative and make the city a stage for European democracy.
