Résumé:
Le projet a pour objectif
de restaurer la confiance entre les citoyens européens et le système électoral
actuel. En effet, ce projet fait directement référence aux derniers résultats
des élections européennes et au taux de participation extrêmement faible dû
à la fois à un système de vote qui n’est pas obligatoire mais également à
un déficit démocratique à travers l’Europe.
Le projet répond aux
trois principales causes de cette faible participation aux élections européennes :
-
Manque d’intérêt et
de connaissance du fonctionnement démocratique de l’Union européenne
-
Méfiance envers les
institutions européennes
-
Absence de sentiment
d’appartenance à l’Europe
Le projet IDEA-C est
basé sur la création de 13 ateliers locaux dans chaque pays membre partenaire
du projet et sur la participation de chaque organisation partenaire à 4 réunions
internationales.
