Strasbourg
(France)
It will
provide a platform for emerging leaders and grassroots initiatives that foster
participation and re-connect citizens and democratic institutions.
Participants from the world of politics,
academia, civil society, business, media and social networks will critically
review these innovative initiatives, assess their mainstreaming potential,
inject new ideas into them, and identify the most promising ones for further
promotion and dissemination. Participants will select the most promising
initiatives, that will receive the
Council of Europe recognition for democratic
innovation.
The Forum
will work through a series of informal, creative labs, enabling a frank and
intensive debate, in an “open source” format. The content of the Forum will be co-created
by the
Council of Europe and a wide range of partners – organisations,
institutions, civic movements and groups – who wish to submit their ideas and
practice to the Forum peer review.
