Teilhabe an der lokalen Demokratie

The Silent University aims to empower migrants to confidently stand up for their interests in Germany, to empower them and activate them politically. Therefore, these events focus primarily on highlighting opportunities for political engagement, describing rights and obligations in the Federal Republic of Germany's democracy, and introducing local political instruments and committees.

Participants gained a better understanding of the German democratic and political system, including the roles of local, state, and federal institutions. They developed a stronger awareness of how democratic values are connected to everyday life at home, in education, and in the community. Through group discussions and exchanges, they strengthened their confidence in recognizing and practicing democracy in daily life. The multilingual and interactive format encouraged active participation, collaborative learning, and open dialogue.
