Liczy się każdy głos

The "Liczy się każdy głos" project in Flanders sought to bridge the gap between marginalized citizens and politicians. By conducting interviews with over 8,000 people, the project created a memorandum on social issues and organized political debates in 13 cities to ensure that the needs of the socio-economically disadvantaged were represented in the public discourse.

• The "Liczy się każdy głos" project utilized various tools to influence public debate and engage people at risk of social exclusion, including political demands, lobbying, press conferences, and a dedicated website stating that "voting is not a game."
• The project identified a significant lack of political representation among certain groups; for example, in Borgerhout, the non-voting rate reached 35%, compared to a general electorate non-voting rate of 25% in 2012.
• Samenlevingsopbouw and over 200 local partners in Flanders interviewed more than 8,000 individuals who are typically ignored by traditional politics to create a memorandum focused on "solidarity" and "redistribution."
• The project lobbied for a fair tax system and the use of public funds for high-quality public services, including affordable housing, education to prevent social exclusion, healthcare, and decent jobs.
• Tangible outcomes of the project included political debates with leading politicians held across 13 cities, attended by diverse social groups who typically do not participate in such events.
