Brief Intro

The European Capital of Democracy is a Europe-wide initiative to innovate and strengthen democracy. Starting in 2023, each year, a different city is selected as European Capital of Democracy by our Citizens’ Jury – a community of more than 5,500 citizens from all Council of Europe Member States and Kosovo. Together with its citizens, the title-holding City curates, organises and hosts a variety of activities that strengthen local democracy. 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 democratic innovation.
