Your Voice on the Green Transition

REAL DEAL

Why our campaign

Every four or five years, we cast our votes with the hope of shaping a better future.

But what happens in between elections?

Continuous engagement in democratic processes is crucial for addressing immediate and evolving challenges, particularly in environmental and social justice.

This campaign extends an invitation to stay involved, stay informed, and keep demanding more citizens participation and deliberation in the green transition.

Our main deliberation and participation platform, my.realdeal.eu, is your gateway to becoming an active participant in shaping these crucial issues.

  • Gender Inclusion: Ensuring fairness and equality in every policy.
  • Civil Society Space: Protecting the forums where voices can be heard.
  • Artificial Intelligence: Directing AI towards equitable outcomes.
