Citizens & Leaders
It is important to have active citizens who participate in their societies in between elections, who solve problems their communities face, who are informed and skilled, democracy cannot become healthy nor developmental. This applies to both citizens and citizen representatives or politicians.
If political leaders do not espouse democratic principals and ethics and who don’t have the required skills-set or theoretical framework and who only think in terms of power and safeguarding narrow interests democracy cannot grow.

- civil society activists and change-makers
In time Democracy Works shall make training materials available online in such a way that citizens can educate and train themselves.
