Civic Education - Jukwaa la Demokrasia

Civic Education Program

Building foundational knowledge about democratic processes, rights, and responsibilities to empower Kenyan youth as active citizens.

Program Overview

Our comprehensive approach to civic education for Kenyan youth.

Why Civic Education Matters

In a vibrant democracy like Kenya, informed and engaged citizens are essential for good governance, accountability, and sustainable development. Our civic education program equips young people with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to participate meaningfully in public life.

Through interactive learning experiences, we demystify governance structures, explain constitutional rights and responsibilities, and build capacity for community engagement and advocacy.

Our curriculum is designed to be practical, relevant, and empowering - connecting abstract democratic concepts to the daily realities of Kenyan youth.

The civic bootcamp completely changed my perspective on governance. I now understand how I can contribute to my community and hold leaders accountable. The practical exercises made complex concepts easy to grasp.
