We, the members of the asso­ci­ation Via Demo­cra­tia Europa, are convinced Europeans who have set ourselves the goal of creating and actively promot­ing the "European Route of Demo­cracy".

This route is intended to become a synonym and symbol of the cultural identity on which the unity of the European Union and its demo­cratic separ­a­tion of powers is based. Using the example of places, events and stories along the axis Stras­bourg - Luxem­bourg - Brussels, the roots should become clear and the achieve­ments of the people who - also in their everyday lives - have ensured the devel­op­ment of a community as we know the European Union today.

Via Demo­cra­tia Europa e. V. is depend­ent on the finan­cial support of sponsors. Through a volun­tary commit­ment by the asso­ci­ation, at least 85% of the funds will go directly into the produc­tion of the e-book- and print-versions of the multi­lin­gual cultural travel guide. A maximum of 15 % will be used for advert­ising and admin­is­trat­ive costs and other incid­ental expenses.
