With this urgency in mind the Robert Schuman Institute in cooperation with its partners including the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Belarus, the International Republican Institute, the Eduardo Frei Foundation and EDUCATIO: Institute for Development and Training is organizing a series of course titled “Leaders in Democracy I-II” for 15 representatives of Belarusian political (center-right), civic and student organizations with the purpose of having them better equipped to continue their fight for a democratic Belarus and strengthen European partnerships.
The main objective of the event is to offer value-based perspective on development for the future political and civic elites of Belarus of the center-right wing, committed to the European integration / fruitful EU-Belarusian partnership. This is to be achieved by introducing and debating fundamentals of democracy, campaigning and political communication as a tool, organization building and the role of civil society. Another important objective is to support the interaction of the Belarusian participants with likeminded communities by connecting with representatives of different center-right organizations in Europe (such as CDA/EFF, KAS/CDU, etc.), to give them a chance to learn from each others’ experiences and current issues of concern.
