What makes this winter school exceptional is not just the opportunity to learn from esteemed speakers, but also the chance to gain insights from intelligent student peers who possess creative ideas and share a passion for driving positive societal changes on issues we all deeply care about. If you aspire to work (or create one) for impactful NGOs, think tanks, watchdog and advocacy groups, or policy research institutions in the future, you should certainly consider applying to this enriching winter school. It offers a warm, welcoming, and safe space that encourages participants to ask questions and receive a practice-based guidance on how to effectively engage with the democracy-building challenges these organizations tackle daily.
