The strive for political participation and social justice in a globalized and neoliberal world is not an utopia.

A multitude of movements are developing ideas and collaborative projects that make democratic change and social transformation beyond established governments and political structures possible.

Together with European Alternatives and a group of collaborators, we conceived a platform for emerging initiatives that enables the participants to create visibility for their projects, documents, discover similarities, learn from each other, exchange ideas and to transfer knowledge.

The platform is open for participation and seeks to collect initiatives working on topics such as Citizen Participation Mechanism, Democratic Remunicipation, Inclusive Housing & Public Space, Migration & Citizen Rights, Social & Solidarity Economy, Socio-Ecological Transformation.
