10 years of RFCDC – and we’ve been part of the journey from the very beginning 💪

The Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture by the Council of Europe shows: democracy must be learned, lived, and actively shaped – especially in times of polarization and uncertainty.

As a long-standing partner of the Council of Europe, Zentrum polis plays a key role in the national implementation in Austria 🇦🇹
From contributing to early initiatives in citizenship and human rights education to coordinating the German translation of the RFCDC and leading pilot projects:

👉 We bring European standards into practice
👉 We support educators and education systems
👉 We strengthen democratic competences in everyday learning

Whether it’s RFCDC, Digital Citizenship Education, or current initiatives like the European Space for Citizenship Education – our collaboration with the Council of Europe is both a mission and a responsibility.

Democracy education works. And it needs strong partnerships.
