StrongerTogether - an unprecedented European citizen consultation on defence & resilience

Europe is facing new and complex challenges. From the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine to growing global tensions in a world with shifting balances, our security and resilience are being tested every day. These issues may seem distant, yet they directly affect our daily lives: our freedom, our economy, our safety.

But building a safer, stronger Europe is something we can all contribute to.‍

With StrongerTogether, we will invite citizens from across Europe to share their ideas, priorities, and solutions for a more resilient future by answering this question: “How can we strengthen European defence and resilience against global security threats (cyber, foreign interferences, disinformation)?”

‍Announced at the 2025 Paris Peace Forum, this online citizen consultation will be launched in the next months in order to help shape the collective vision of a Europe that is prepared, cohesive, and capable of standing strong on the global stage.

The results of this consultation will be presented at the Globsec Summit in May 2026 and shared with national and European institutions.

Together, we can make Europe stronger - and more united - in the face of today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.‍

StrongerTogether is an initiative led by Make.org in collaboration with the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, the German Federal Foreign Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland, and the think-tank GLOBSEC.
