Education for democracy is a priority for our society work in Romania. We develop a variety of projects with partners which focus on increasing knowledge of human rights and freedoms, strengthening good governance and civic involvement.
School for democracy
Each year we train a group of 30 young leaders who are interested in civic initiatives which contribute to the strengthening of democracy in Romania. We help them learn how to use public participation tools to advocate for their rights.
Participants (high school, university or postgraduate students) receive:
- an in-depth knowledge of principles of democracy
- understanding of their rights as citizens in respect to transparency of decision making processes
- access to information of public interest, corruption and conflicts of interests
- training on how to plan and design civic education projects involving hundreds of young people from their schools and universities.
Projects which help develop real democracy and have active participation of citizens can receive financial support from the British Council.
Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, Expert Forum and Asociaţia Pro Democraţia help us deliver the School for democracy programme.
