Democracy and Cohesion
Engaging people, protecting democracy, strengthening municipalities – that is the aim of our work in the area of democracy and cohesion. We bring citizens together with government decision-makers to improve local living conditions. We support elected representatives in their commitment to democracy and promote respectful dialogue with one another. And we give a voice to people who are working for freedom and democracy in exile. Our programmes focus on dialogue, understanding and joint action in order to strengthen cohesion and democracy.
