The goal of the Forum 2000 Foundation educational activities is to strengthen democracy, develop a civil society and promote active citizenship in general. Educational activities foster the exchange of experiences, information and good practices, and encourage cooperation of both European NGOs and NGOs from countries in neighboring regions. International projects often specifically focus on Central and Eastern Europe countries, the Balkans, Central Asia and the Caucasus which share historical experiences, challenges, and difficulties with the Czech Republic.
Our activities support education and a mutual exchange of experiences in subjects deemed important for the development of a civil society, such as sustaining political and economic transformation, leading long-term projects, championing freedom of expression and free access to information, upholding civil participation, or handling conflicts. Project participants are primarily workers/volunteers of non-profit organizations and students devoted to carrying out projects in support of democracy and sharing their experiences with others.
International training courses
