Workshop

During a meeting in the mid 1990s with colleagues from Argentina about helping to foster the emerging democratic culture in that country we encountered a compelling appeal. They said, “Don’t teach us the structures of democracy, we know all about the structures of democracy; teach us the spirit of democracy.” Thus, the organizing idea for this project was born. To focus not on sterile mechanisms such as how elections are conducted or bills passed, but on the ideas and principles which underlie these mechanisms and infuse them with vitality. To develop an approach which will foster the democratic spirit.
