ABOUT CITIZEN AWARENESS PROGRAMME
Based on the belief that each individual can play a role in our democracy, the CAP was created to give citizens the knowledge, motivation and tools necessary to participate in the political process. The interactive programme is conducted by trained facilitators with small groups of participants in corporate, college and community settings. Through multimedia presentations participants learn about the structure of the union, state and local governments, the infrastructure of service providers and the strengths and challenges of our democracy. Role- playing, team and individual exercises reinforce key concepts and provide opportunities for stimulating interaction between participants. The final module introduces tools and methods for community engagement that enable individuals to contribute to the quality of life in their own community. Participants become part of a growing network of committed citizens who feel a sense of ownership in their city and are empowered to shape the future of our democracy.
