Deliberating in a Democracy

In 2004, The Constitutional Rights Foundation Chicago (CRFC), and the Constitutional Rights Foundation in Los Angeles (CRF) and Street Law inc., launched a major six year international teaching initiative designed to improve teaching and learning of democratic principles and skills of civic deliberation.

Funded by grants from the US department of education, the goal of 'Deliberating in a Democracy' (DID)' is to increase the knowledge, ability and disposition of teachers and students to effectively participate in deliberations related to democratic principles in their countries. The emphasis is on direct person to person exchange of ideas, with the aim of giving people a much clearer picture of democracy in action.
