Dance Floor of Democracy is a cultural initiative that highlights the immense value of club culture for the society as a platform for democratic dialogue, inclusion, and European collaboration. Clubs offer a space for community, intercultural communication, (artistic) self-expression, and creative exploration. Clubs can also serve as safe spaces for marginalised groups, where shared values such as diversity, tolerance, and freedom are celebrated through sound, movement, and presence. Through a dynamic interplay of music and talks/workshops, the project explores how these aspects of nightlife can be fostered and what loss the closure of clubs means for a city's society. In two phases of the project, from Europe Day in May to a concluding artistic conference in October, the project will celebrate cultural diversity and the European club music scene, explore ways to make music events more sustainable and accessible, explore queer culture, open up ways to talk about club culture in rural areas, and bring together night-time culture stakeholders and urban decision-makers. Together with partners from nine countries, the EUNIC cluster in Tallinn will invite artists, social scientists, activists, cultural professionals, and politicians to contribute to the project's events. In this way, the project promotes international exchange and fair collaboration, to ensure a lasting impact on the local and European cultural scene.
