next democracy

Motivated to feed and influence the debate around the Future of European Democracy as well as coming forward with forward-looking solutions to further democratize the European project, FEPS intends to develop new initiatives and pursue existing ones in view of deepening EU democracy whilst empowering EU citizens and young people especially, fighting populism with progressive answers and last but not least by ceasing the opportunity that the digital revolution can bring about in enabling a stronger civic participation in political discussions and democratic processes.
