Citizen Empowerment
It is imperative for citizens to have the capacity to make well-informed policy decisions, to actively influence politics outside of just electoral participation, and to fully exercise their democratic rights. Volt's stance promotes a more integrated and democratic framework, with collective action and informed citizen engagement as fundamental pillars.

The 5+1 Challenges
Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental Challenges that need to be tackled in each European country and in Europe as a whole.
Why 5 + 1 Challenges?
The 5 Challenges are basically the same for every country, but their implementation can be adapted on the national level to take into account local realities.
The +1 Challenge – our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU – is identical across all our national programmes.
