What are the most democratic countries in Europe? How would we find out? To answer these questions, Demos has developed the Everyday Democracy Index (EDI). Using data for 25 European countries, EDI measures and compares ordinary citizens' perceptions and experience of democratic empowerment. The launch of a new Demos project on everyday democracy in Europe will feature Guardian columnist and historian Timothy Garton Ash and Paul Skidmore, McConnell Fellow, Princeton University. Date and time: Thursday, 31st January 2008 at 5:00pm. Location: Demos, 136 Tooley Street, SE1 2TU, London. RSVP to [email protected].
