Introduction
This directory has been curated by the Democracy Resource Hub, an online library of resources for organizers, activists, peacebuilders, democracy practitioners, and trainers working to strengthen democracy. We foster interdisciplinary exchanges and innovation across diverse identities and skillsets.
The Democracy Resource Hub includes two sets of information:
- a collection of curated tools and information and
- a directory of networks, organizations and resources libraries that offer ways to get involved, trained and/or informed about various skills needed to support the renewal of democracy.
The Democracy Resource Hub Directory is organized into three groups:
- Networks: These are organizations with global or regional reach that you can join, work with or seek support from.
- Training Organizations: These organizations offer workshops, trainings, webinars and courses about skills needed to support democratic renewal.
- Resource Libraries & Hubs: These are treasure troves of information that provide deeper insights into a wide range of fields.
Recommendations of organizations and resource libraries are welcome: Directory Submission Form
