The Democrat project is a highly important initiative aimed at strengthening the resilience and sustainability of democracy through education. Funded by the EC Horizon programme, this project seeks to develop comprehensive curricula for Education for Democracy (EfD) based on a framework of responsible democratic competences. The project has tested these curricula through open, local, and innovative learning projects, and developed a robust toolbox to support transformative EfD practices across the EU and beyond. 

We want to announce the final conference of the Democrat project and invite you to join!

The Democrat conference will explore the evolving role of civic and democratic education in fostering resilient democratic societies in Europe. It will emphasise that democracy is not just a political structure, but a shared practice built and maintained through everyday collective decision-making and social engagement.
Education for Democracy is more than a subject, it is a pedagogical approach embracing co-creation, embodied learning, and mutual engagement.

This conference aims to:

• Showcase the achievements of grassroots initiatives in EfD
• Encourage meaningful political dialogue on democratic education
• Promote the scaling of innovative democratic practices across education systems

Join the conference and be part of this important conversation to help shape the future of democratic education in Europe!
