ProDemos for local governments and organisations

ProDemos collaborates with provincial and municipal authorities, councillors, civil servants, and other professionals to encourage people to take initiative and become involved in (local) politics. We employ various approaches to achieve this goal. Here are a few examples:

Course: ‘Becoming politically active’

In the course ‘Politiek actief‘ we explain how political decisons are made and in what ways one can try to influence these decisions. Hundreds of people already have participated in this course, and many of them have subsequently become politcally active – either as active citizens or politicians.

Meetings: ‘Democracy for everyone’

Civil society organisations, community centres and libraries can reach out to us to arrange a free, engaging, and informal meeting where we explain aspects of democracy, fundamental rights and the judicial system. These meetings are specifically designed for people who perceive politics as distant and unrelated to their lives.

Voting information for people with MID

For people with a mild intellectual disability (MID) we provide a website, an election newspaper in plain language, short videos and an online workhop.
