Citizens Take Over Europe (CTOE) is a coalition formed in spring 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, aimed at enhancing democratic participation in European politics. It brings together civil society organizations and citizens to advocate for a citizen-centered democracy. CTOE organizes various events and assemblies to foster dialogue and deliberation among citizens. It has established ten guiding principles for the Conference on the Future of Europe, focusing on participatory and transparent processes that place citizens at the forefront of decision-making. The organization promotes democratic reform and the Citizens’ Assembly model across Europe, mobilizing citizens to collaboratively address pressing European challenges. Through these initiatives, CTOE seeks to reshape European democracy into a more inclusive and participatory framework.
