Democracy 101 is a civic education project that makes the foundations of democracy clear, honest, and relevant for a new generation.

We bring together political theory, history, and the ideas of thinkers from across the world — Western and non-Western alike — and translate them into short, accessible content.

Our aim is not to preach, but to reveal: to show where democratic rights came from, how power really works, and why these ideas still matter in a fast-changing digital age.

We believe rights and freedoms are won, not granted — and that understanding them is the first step to defending them.

Democracy 101 is led by graduates from the Global Campus of Human Rights, and has been supported by the Global Campus of Human Rights and Right Livelihood.
