Democracies are under pressure - worldwide, including in Europe. In this context, it is crucial to strengthen political institutions and revitalise democracy as a social practice. This forms the basis of a vibrant and resilient civil society. Join us to discuss how democracy education can be visibly and effectively integrated into everyday school life and how schools can be supported as central hubs of democratic practice.

 

Please note that there is a maximum number of participants for this session (first come, first served).
