In the European countries, there are millions of non-EU citizens, who were not allowed to vote at the European elections. With our research project, we want to understand what these Europeans think about the European Union and give their concerns an outlet.
The project sought to contrast the solidity of the traditional narrative of peace and prosperity that is still evoked as the main achievement of the European Union. FACTS tested whether the time had made a dent in this narrative; whether it remained a powerful mobilising factor; or if mobilised and non-mobilised citizens thought of a different narrative than that of peace and prosperity.
The project sets out to rethink, reshape, and review the EU’s democracy support policies in its Eastern & Southern Neighbourhoods. Conceiving democracy support as a social practice requiring the collective democractic learning of all stakeholders involved, the project’s consortium will pilot test a Democracy Learning Loop to create new channels and tools for interaction between the EU and its neighbours.
DigiDem-EU is a project consisting of a cross-cutting effort to integrate the democratic challenges of the digital transformation into CIDOB’s current work on the European Union. DigiDem-EU project aims to analyse, discuss, and build citizens’ understanding and awareness on how technology impacts EU democracy, politics, civic engagement, and citizens’ rights.
