Brazilian project “Mine, yours, our vote” wins Democracy Innovation Award

At the closing session of the 12th World Forum for Democracy, the Council of Europe announced that the winner of its 2024 Democracy Innovation Award was the Brazilian project "Mine, yours, our vote", developed by the Aurora Institute for Human Rights, in co-operation with various Brazilian organisations.

The project is aimed at young people of different origins and identities, particularly those voting for the first time. Its main goal is to foster a culture of respectful dialogue on responsible voting, politics, democracy and human rights in a context of polarisation.

In addition, the initiative promotes care for the community, emphasising the importance of considering the well-being of vulnerable members. It also advocates diversity and inclusive political representation, with the aim of creating a more inclusive and participatory democracy.

The Forum in Strasbourg brought together 1,200 participants from 70 countries across the world to answer the question "Democracy and Diversity - Can we transcend the divides?".
