Active citizenship

Our projects start from the necessity of involving citizens in the public life, decision-making process, as well as monitoring the decision-makers. EFOR support the development of civic abilities and implements a series of initiatives dedicated to the youth, such as the School for Democracy or the Why Democracy? Festival. Moreover, we aim to explain the public policies to the citizens and transform them into our activist projects.


Support us: We have to make government more transparent and rational, by showing that we understand what they do and react when they are wrong. Get involved, contribute and support this effort.
