Citizens' experience with local democracy

Under Work Package 3 (Case Studies) and 5 (Foresight), our researchers have collected citizens' reflections on lived experience of democracy for their analyses of 11 governance innovations across Europe, and for identification of research signals about the future of democracy. The stories are now published in the EUARENAS Database of Citizens' Stories.
