School For Public Life (Kozelet Iskolaja)

The School of Public Life is a grassroots civic education centre founded in 2014 and based in Budapest with a nationwide reach dedicated to building a democratic and just Hungary.

They work for a world where everyone is able to participate in public life and decision-making regardless of their social status. They help citizens dedicated to building a democratic and just Hungary, especially members of marginalised communities and those working on their behalf to organise themselves and stand up for their rights and interests effectively.

Their aim is to

  • make the knowledge and skills for grassroot organising available to everyone, especially those who experience or fight against oppression
  • support movements and civil society organisations that work for social justice to operate more effectively
  • encourage grassroots groups and local organisations to engage with the elections, support them in running community-based campaigns and support citizens who organise for clean elections
  • build a diverse community where critical thinking, democratic participation and solidarity are highly valued.
