By launching the European Capital of Democracy Initiative, mayors and international organisations want to make a real contribution to strengthening democracy in Europe . The initiative was founded by the Innovation in Politics Institute together with international partners. From 2021 onwards, each year one city will be awarded the title and thereby implement a comprehensive programme to strengthen democracy. Furthermore, international organisations will be invited to contribute by implementing successful activities in the respective city - international conferences, cultural festivals, educational programmes, summer camps for young citizens and much more.
