IFES Civic Education | Guidebook

Civic education, when rooted in human rights and democratic principles, seeks to develop knowledge of democratic rights and how to exercise them in civic and political processes. It is achieved through activities that aim to develop one’s democratic attitudes, values, and behaviors.5 Civic education can take many forms, including formal, school-based learning, and non-formal learning outside of school systems; it can also take place against a range of democratic landscapes.
