What Makes Us Feel Safe Today? A Collective Dialogue on Security in Changing Times

Start date: 15/09/2025
End date: 31/10/2025
Where: Online

In a world shaped by war, climate change, rising prices, and growing social divides, people are rethinking what it means to feel secure. Yet, too often, policies are made without a clear sense of what truly matters to citizens in their everyday life. 

Under the EU research project ORBIS, we’re opening up a European dialogue on security: what makes you feel safe, what concerns you, and what needs to change.

Who Can Join?  

This dialogue is open to citizens of all ages and backgrounds. Your perspective is essential to help shape a shared vision of security in Europe.  

Join now to share your views and help define what safety and security mean today

The process unfolds in four online steps, from an initial survey to deeper discussions, collective voting, and a final event where participants can see the results of their contributions.
