Project description
Strengthening democracy through trust and participation
Democratic institutions are facing growing social, economic and information pressures that can undermine trust, inclusion and public participation. The EU-funded RADAR project helps institutions, communities and stakeholders face these challenges by strengthening democracy and advancing fundamental rights. Combining interdisciplinary research with practical action, the project will build a comparative knowledge base and test how different public messages are received. It will also develop a digital tool to help users evaluate problematic online narratives and produce practical resources for civil society organisations, journalists, educators and public authorities. It will also support peer-learning exchanges, mentoring, training and policy engagement. Through these activities, RADAR will translate research into actionable solutions that improve the quality of public information and promote informed participation.
Objective
"RADAR: ""ReclAiming Democracy Advancing Rights"" is a collaborative European project that aims to strengthen democratic resilience by helping institutions, communities and civic actors respond constructively to social, economic and information pressures. Through comparative work in the project pilot countries, it brings together research, practical tools and stakeholder engagement to support trust, inclusion, accountability and informed public participation.
RADAR combines interdisciplinary research with applied action. It will build a comparative knowledge base, test how different public messages are received, develop a transparent digital tool to help users assess problematic online narratives, and create practical resources for civil society, journalists, educators and public authorities. The project also includes peer-learning exchanges, mentoring, trainings and policy forums so that findings can be translated into useful guidance and multilingual support materials.
Overall, RADAR is designed to turn research into practical support for democratic resilience: improving the quality of public information, encouraging participation, and helping democratic systems become more adaptive, trusted and responsive over time."
