Democracy Workshops

Education is key. Whether it’s about the environment, democracy, health, security or digitalisation, we believe effective change comes through equal access to lifelong learning. That’s why we organise workshops of various kinds focussed on citizen capacity-building, democracy and active citizenship. They are indeed an interactive way to engage with citizens and civil society organisations on pro-democracy issues, underpinning our commitment to promote a new kind of leadership and help regenerate democracy.
