The “Forwarding Democratic EU Participation-FORCEP” is a 24-month project aiming to enhance European citizenship by establishing a network of municipalities in Greece, Slovenia, Romania, Italy, Hungary, Croatia, and Spain. It focuses on empowering the unemployed through e-democracy tools like consultations and initiatives, promoting understanding of key EU policies for smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth. FORCEP collaborates with local, national, and European authorities, NGOs, experts, and citizens’ groups to foster active citizenship and reduce social exclusion through EU policymaking engagement.
