Democracy

A democratic structure is the fundamental basis for a stable, peaceful and participative society. Sustainable answers to challenges of today can only be found if the whole society is involved. That applies for Eastern and Western Europe, as well as the rest of the world. Therefore, the DRA sustains and connects civil societies in Europe, aiming to building democracy. Action fields are diverse: inter alia, the qualification of journalists, study trips for authority representatives, qualification of youth politics collaborators, workshops on urban planning, secretary management of the EU-Russia forum for civil society (a non-governmental coalition composed of 150 NGO).

European Network for Belarus

With the project "European Network for Belarus" we want to establish a European network of NGOs, experts and political representatives to support the democracy movement in Belarus.

Dealing with Change in Democratic Ways

The network “Transition Dialogue” focuses on the formation of knowledge and perceptions of the transition from communism in Central and Eastern Europe after 1989. As practitioners of history and civic education, we are taking a closer look at the public discourse on the topic and how transition is being taught at schools in seven European countries.
