Democracy is in danger, and urgently needs people to defend it. Our 10-month civic leadership programme for young activists will help fight the democratic decline.
Why Defend Democracy? Over recent years, rising inequality, war, natural disasters and the Covid 19 pandemic have spurred the decline of democratic governance around the world. But everywhere we look, inspiring activists have been standing up for human rights and environmental protection — demonstrating the vital importance of civil society in these challenging times. To support and empower even more people to take action in the face of the democratic decline, we have developed the Democracy Defenders Accelerator. This 10-month programme will bring together young activists from diverse backgrounds to learn, exchange and grow together. And together, we will become the defenders of democracy.
