Description

The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung views civic education as part of its core business. This holds true both at home and abroad, with the proviso that these fields of activity need to be networked further. The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung aims to empower citizens to promote our liberal democracy and to assume an active role in politics and society. Towards this end, the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung provides background knowledge in politics and economics and promotes the emergence of active citizens in our democracy. Beyond providing knowledge about institutions or a forum for current debates, civic education projects the value-based foundations of our democratic order. Beyond this general mission to support democracy, in which it agrees with many other providers of civic education, the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung is distinguished by, as its statutes put it, the ‘Christian Democratic basis’ of its work.
