Contribution to the Council of Europe Action Plan in Georgia - Democracy Starts in Schools
Good governance is key to achieving sustainable development and just and peaceful societies. Building on its expertise in governance and human rights, Switzerland will foster Georgia’s culture of democracy by supporting the implementation of the Council of Europe Action Plan 2020-2023. In particular, by equipping young people with democratic values, attitudes and skills at schools, they should become active and responsible citizens, ready to engage in local decision-making.

| Contesto |
Switzerland’s contribution will support and strengthen Georgia’s reforms in the fields of human rights, the rule of law and democracy so that Institutions, legislations and practices in the area of human rights, the rule of law and democracy are in line with European standards and Council of Europe members’ obligations. Part of this contribution will be earmarked to ensure that Democracy in Georgia is strengthened by increasing participation of young people in the decision-making processes at the local level through democratic citizenship education and practices in schools. |
| Gruppi target | The Action Plan for Georgia 2020-2023 is implemented by the Council of Europe and co-funded by 15 countries. The Democracy Starts in Schools project will be implemented in the framework of the Action Plan. The project will be coordinated with the SDC’s Women’s Economic Empowerment and Arts&Culture projects in Georgia and with the Education for Democracy project in Moldova. In addition, synergies will be sought with projects implemented, inter alia, by the Council of Europe (“Strengthening Participatory Democracy and Human Rights at Local Level in Georgia”), by the Zürich University for Teacher Education (“Better Teaching for a Better Future”) and by USAID (“Momavlis Taoba”, which focuses on civic education and teachers’ training). |
