"DIVE" – Democracy, Inclusion, Voter Engagement

DIVE (Democracy, Inclusion, Voter Engagement) focuses on reinforcing citizen election observation, advancing electoral reforms, promoting civic education, and countering disinformation and Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI). In its first phase, the project will conduct cross-country research on the legal and practical conditions for citizen observation, electoral reform processes, civic engagement in democratic systems, and develop pilot protocols to address disinformation.

The project is built on a clear principle: research must translate into impact. Findings will inform concrete advocacy strategies and training tools, grounded in evidence and tested in real-life contexts. By linking analysis with implementation, DIVE aims to contribute directly to measurable and sustainable democratic resilience across Europe.

 

DIVE is funded by the European Union under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union.
