Democracy through actions. Module 2

How to participate in elections, and use effective methods of civic participation on the community level and online

Experts: Irma Vitovska, Hlib Stryzhko, Oksana Solonska, +1

The second module of "Democracy through actions" will help you understand how to be an active citizen in practice. You will get answers to such questions: "How is the organization of various election types carried out?", "How to become a local council deputy?", "What to do if the authorities are inactive?", "Can activism be conducted using a smartphone?". You will understand how to solve real problems at the level of your locality, region, country

In each series, you will find materials in the form of video lectures, animated stories of adventures, and infographics that will help you remember main points. Each episode includes an ethical dilemma — a question without a straightforward or correct answer. However, you will be required to make decisions both within the course and in real-life situations. Thus, it's time to make your choice

If you want to learn more after completing the course, you can take part in an additional live training program to deepen your knowledge of democracy and meet like-minded people from other cities. Other networking events, internship program, and more are also waiting for you.
