Democracy Works Foundation (DWF) in partnership with the in Transformation Initiative (ITI), is excited to launch the Democracy Works Academy- a youth leadership, civic education and dialogue programme to support young people in becoming engaged and critical leasers. The Academy is aimed at developing the capacities and networks of individuals who are committed to the development of an accountable and responsive values-based society. DWF shall recruit 30 participants to join the Academy in 2019.
The DWA aims to support the development of democratic citizens who can make a real impact in their communities through the development of specifics skills, values, and knowledge. Upon completion of the academy, a fund will be made available for participants who are interested in implementing a community-based initiative.
This programme is driven by the vision of democracy as a continuous work-in- progress, with the academy being a vehicle to strengthen broader civic engagement in upholding the values enshrined in the South African Constitution.
Applications are now open and will close on 22 April 2019.
