Season 4 Ep. 3 "Bridge to the CoE" - Strengthening Democracy Together

🎙️ In this episode of ALDA Podcast “Shades of Democracy”, we explore how cooperation between institutions and civil society strengthens democratic resilience across Europe.
Our guests Lotta Valtonen from the Council of Europe and Katica Janeva, Director of ALDA’s Skopje Office, share insights on the tools and programmes that make democracy work in practice — from the European Label of Governance Excellence (ELoGE) to the BRIDGE to the Council of Europe project.
From experiences in the Western Balkans to the challenges faced in Ukraine and Moldova, this episode uncovers how frameworks of good governance translate into real change for communities and citizens.

🤝 Tune in to hear why strengthening democracy is a shared responsibility — and how ALDA and the Council of Europe are working together to make it happen.
