Present­­a­­tion of the exhib­­i­­tion "VIA DEMO­­CRA­­TIA EUROPA – the cultural and travel route – stations on the European road to demo­­cracy" in various cities and loca­­tions.

From May 2026, the Via Demo­­cra­­tia Europa e.V. asso­­ci­­ation will present the exhib­­i­­tion "Via Demo­­cra­­tia Europa – the cultural and travel route - Stations on the European Road of Demo­­cracy" in various cities and loca­­tions. It will be shown through­­out Europe in various cities and towns, partic­­u­­larly along the route. The exhib­­i­­tion aims to encour­­age visitors to:

- to engage with the idea of Europe,

- to see oneself as part of this demo­­cratic project,

- and to seek encoun­­ters across borders.

The aim of the campaign is also to raise aware­­ness of the "European Road" along the borders of the five founding states of France, Germany, Luxem­­bourg, the Neth­­er­­lands and Belgium.

So far, the exhib­­i­­tion has been presen­­ted at the European Parlia­­ment in Stras­­bourg from 9 to 13 February 2026.

Local author­­it­­ies, insti­­tu­­tions and organ­­isa­­tions along the route of the European Road.

We would be delighted if your muni­­cip­­al­­ity/city would present the exhib­­i­­tion "European Route of Demo­­cracy – the Cultural Route". https://via-demo­­­­cra­­­­tia.eu/termine-fotos/.

Campaign: "Europe's Road to Democracy" - Route map

Starting in May 2025, the Via Demo­­cracy Europe Asso­­ci­­ation will be running a special campaign called "European Road of Demo­­cracy" to enable the route plaque for the European Route to be affixed free of charge. The aim of the campaign is to raise aware­­ness of the "European Route" along the borders of the five founding coun­­tries France, Germany, Luxem­­bourg, the Neth­­er­­lands and Belgium.

To date, route plaques have been installed at prom­­in­­ent loca­­tions along the European Route, includ­­ing at the European Museum in Schengen, at the Schuman Monument in Scy Chazelles near Metz, the border village of Leidinä­­gen near Saar­­louis and the East Belgian town of Eupen.    

Local author­­it­­ies, insti­­tu­­tions and organ­­isa­­tions along the route of the European Road.

We would be delighted if your muni­­cip­­al­­ity/town would take part in our "European Road of Demo­­cracy" campaign. Placards have already been placed along the route, see   https://via-demo­­cra­­­­tia.eu/termine-fotos/.
