European Digital Citizenship

Displayeurope.eu is a ground-breaking media platform anchored in public values. The platform provides citizens across the continent access to trustworthy information and a picture of Europe that is not usually conveyed by mainstream or national media. Through translation, syndication and originally-created-content displayeurope.eu gathers and disseminates trustworthy press from across Europe. Built from a sovereign, self-governed, open-source digital infrastructure, Displayeurope.eu breaks free from the Big Tech social media and streaming platforms that currently filter and frame media production. In this more democratic display of Europe, displayeurope.eu will be a force for democracy across the continent.

The Council for European Public Space aims to create a European Public Space constituted according to democratic rules. The think-and-do-tank will develop evidence-based and politically viable strategies to advance the goal of an open, fair, and safe European Public Space. It will advocate for rights and major investments from EU institutions and support existing initiatives from science, industry, and civil society. The Council is composed of eminent European personalities who represent diverse perspectives towards the common goal of a democratic and more unified Europe.

Digital spaces shape how people understand the world, take part in public debate and relate to one another. As these spaces become more central to everyday life, they are also becoming more contested, influenced by commercial interests, geopolitical tensions and the spread of disinformation. The question is no longer whether digital space matters for democracy, but how it is shaped and by whom.

The PublicSpaces Conference brings together technologists, policymakers, cultural actors and practitioners to explore how digital public space can be grounded in democratic values. Through keynotes, discussions and workshops, the programme focuses on digital autonomy, public AI and the future of social platforms. The Open Social Awards highlight emerging alternatives to centralised social media, while the Bazaar connects organisations building practical tools for a more open and accountable digital environment.

Digital spaces are now part of where people form opinions, encounter difference, and decide whether to trust what they see and hear. This is where participation happens, and where it can also break down. Strengthening these environments as public, value-driven spaces is at the core of the European Cultural Foundation’s work on European Digital Citizenship, supporting platforms, practices and collaborations that enable people to engage safely, critically and meaningfully in shared public life.
