Representation and Participation
We are convinced that representation and participation are the fundamental principles of democracy and freedom. We know: Every democracy is different because no two countries are alike. At the same time, many democratic countries currently share something: they are under pressure. We need bold ideas and models for political participation that can be realised in our representative democracy. Because: democracy needs pluralism, compromise and a strong culture of debate. Our experts in Germany and in more than 100 countries have a major task here: to convince people that it is worthwhile and important to inform and get involved.
