Initiative
for Civic
Education
Our Vision
Our vision is a vibrant and strong democracy in Switzerland, in Europe and beyond. To reach this goal we need civic education that fosters democratic values, human rights and enables participation.
Our Contribution
Demokrative is committed to action-oriented, scientifically based and democratic civic education that is oriented toward the interests of the recipients. We develop material and educational formats, offer workshops and actively participate in the professional discourse in Switzerland and Europe.
Our Values
The Demokrative is a non-partisan, non-denominational and non-profit organisation. We live democracy, respect human rights and develop innovative educational programs that foster a wide array of competences, encourage respectful dialogue of different perspectives and promote an inclusive form of cooperation.
Democracy is a constant challenge for all of us. Civic education provides us with an attitude, knowledge and skills to meet this challenge.
The Association Demokrative
Demokrative - initiative for civic education was founded by a group of young political scientists from ETH Zurich in 2016, with the aim of promoting the transfer between science, educational practice and society. Today the Demokrative has around fourty members and is guided by a five-member board. The operational work is carried out by a team of part-time and freelance employees as well as committed volunteers.
