Training Course: "Educate for Democracy" in Spain

Training Course: "Educate for Democracy"
15-22 September 2024 | Spain

The “Educate for Democracy” training programme is focused on citizenship education, be it in a formal or a non-formal learning environment, bringing the concept, ideas and values of democracy closer to young people. In the XXI century, the true meaning of democracy and citizenship is threatened by old and new fears, lack of social bonds and solidarity, environmental challenges, and a generalised sense of insecurity.

Youth work has a key role in ensuring the empowerment of young people, offering them the opportunity to develop skills and competencies that would allow them to understand the dynamics behind the democratic processes, to practice citizenship, to be active in their community, not just every 4 or 5 years casting a ballot, but every and each day of their life.
