FIDE - Federation for Innovation in Democracy

The Federation for Innovation in Democracy - Europe (FIDE) is an international non-profit organization based in Brussels (Belgium) working to increase the involvement of everyday citizens in policymaking at all government levels in Europe. Our main approach to achieving this goal is through the use of deliberative democratic methods.

FIDE brings together democratic innovators from all over Europe to advise governments and policymakers on best practices in this field. We also advocate and communicate through different channels to increase awareness and support for these methods among policymakers, influencers, and the public at large.

Our trainings and events offer a place for practitioners of deliberative democracy to connect and elevate the field together. FIDE curates the best available existing research and acts as a documentation center for all aspects of deliberative democratic processes and civic lotteries.
