Inspired by the idea that democracy requires ongoing participation, the program offers interactive workshops, training sessions, and real-world exercises that help people develop the “muscles” needed for democratic engagement. Just like physical fitness, democracy thrives when we practice key skills like active listening, constructive debate, civic courage, and collaboration.
Through guided exercises, participants learn how to navigate disagreements, recognize misinformation, and take effective action in their communities.
Whether you’re an educator, community leader, or someone eager to become a more engaged citizen, Democracy Fitness and programs on demand we create around it, provide the tools to build confidence and resilience in democratic participation.
Collaborations
Democracy Fitness is based on a concept by the Danish organization Demokrati Fitness. In the Netherlands it is executed and further developed by Bureau Burgerberaad and Studio Possible Futures.
