Foster Europe and the Danube Civil Society Forum (DCSF) is also supporting the “Stand up for Europe and Democracy – A Sign of Unity” campaign within the Fit 4 Democracy project led by ILEU e.V., a founding member of the DCSF. The initiative invites people across Europe to join a participatory photo action, creating a digital mosaic that highlights solidarity, peace, and shared democratic values.

On 27 May 2025, participants from across Europe gathered in Vienna for the FREI project’s international kick-off. As a symbolic start, they released over 50 balloons, each carrying a personal wish for Europe’s future — messages of democracy, peace, and human rights meant to inspire dialogue across borders.
