This year, Democracy International devotes its anthology of activities to the many people who courageously stand up for democracy, despite of terrifying setbacks. Allying with these people, Democracy International pursues to realise more direct democracy and citizen participation within national contexts, at the European level and throughout the world.

In this respect, we have been campaigning for a more democratic EU and a stronger EU Citizens’ Initiative this year. We have engaged with people across the globe to foster exchange and to provide knowledge on direct democracy. Moreover, we have helped to build new democracy groups and supported them in running campaigns. Here you can read about our main actions in 2015.
