The founders of the House of Democracy are from different countries, rooted in Europe and with a global perspective. Politically we are neutral insofar as we are not linked to any political party or movement.
We are friends from academia, board members from business, activists for democracy, women’s rights, disabled people and participants from youth organizations, as well as personalities from the arts, film and media and the EU institutions.
The initiator of the Forum is Dr Hande Bozatli, an MD from Istanbul, former politician and former President of the Assembly of European Regions (2013-2017).
