The Institute for Democratic Education

The Institute for Democratic Education is an organization for social change, that promotes democratic culture, based on the Convention on Human Rights. A democratic culture considers it the community's responsibility to bring to expression the uniqueness (strength, growth, and knowledge) of every individual, promotes collaboration between people, and fosters interaction between the individual, the community, and the environment. In this way it aspires to create an egalitarian, decent, vibrant and sustainable society. The Institute encourages optimism, critical thinking and activism by individuals and the community alike, and views education and social processes as major tools in advancing that culture.
