Welcome to the CIDAPE project

In a world filled with division, the CIDAPE project seeks ways to establish a more engaged citizenry. Awarded by Horizon Europe, CIDAPE (Climate, Inequality and Democratic Action: The Force of Political Emotions) redefines citizen engagement as more than just a tool; it's a dynamic process that strengthens democracy. This international project brings together 11 partners from nine European countries, all dedicated to exploring the impact of our emotions on democratic politics.
