Political Education for Democratic Civics
A strong and functioning liberal democracy requires a strong public system that educates its pupils toward a deeply democratic perspective, humanism, and values of liberty and equality. It teaches them to develop critical thinking and political awareness, and gives them democratic civic tools and skills. IDEA promotes civic education and political education that aims to strengthen liberal democracy in Israel’s school systems via teacher training, content development, support and training of educational teams, and development of curricula inside and outside the academic world
