Our mission and goals

Facilitating political participation

We support petitioners in a way that all initiatives started on our platform can develop their maximum effect. We aim to enable more and more people to make their concerns heard.

Making politics more transparent

We use our digital tools to make political processes more transparent for everyone and advise citizens on how to use their democratic participation opportunities best.

Strengthening the right to petition

We are advocating for a more effective and citizen-friendly petition system. To that end we are in dialogue with politicians and decision-makers.

Modernising parliamentary democracy

We promote modern and more direct democratic means of citizen participation. To this end we use the potential of digitisation.
