Description:
Our VISION
A civil society in which every citizen is imbued with a sense of civic duty to come to the defence of the fundamentals of liberal constitutional democracy.
Why Section 1
Authoritarian and illiberal societies need compliant followers. Liberal democracy needs engaged citizens.
Mission and Fundamentals
An education that imbues in every citizen a sense of civic duty to come to the defence of their democracy. A society in which everyone is educated into a tradition of "Heroic Citizenship".
The Team
We are a small team, but we are mighty in our principles, ideals, convictions and ambitions for a society of Heroic Citizens. Meet the team and the Advisory Board.
Our Work
We want every school to teach a civics curriculum fit for liberal democratic citizens based on our “Fundamentals of Liberal Democracy”, including such programs as our Bootcamp for Heroic Citizenship (currently in development).
We also convene conferences, run workshops, deliver public lectures and press commentary and we undertake research and writing projects, with an eye to safeguarding and promoting a liberal democratic civic culture.
