Democracy Re/Designed Toolkit
Posted by American Association of Colleges and Universities on July 30, 2024
The Institute on Democracy & Higher Education‘s (IDHE) Democracy Re/Designed offers a conceptual framework and toolkit that colleges and universities can use to engage students and the campus community in envisioning a more aspirational democracy that works for everyone.
Our democracy has never worked for everyone, and like democracies globally, the nation is moving farther from the ideal. People are giving up, and nearly half of Generation Z believe it doesn’t matter whether they live in a democracy or a dictatorship. These conditions are dangerous because when people give up, anti-democratic forces can take hold, jeopardizing basic tenets like free and fair elections, equitable political participation, civil rights, freedom of the press, separation of church and state, and the just application of the law.
Included in the Democracy Re/Designed toolkit, you will find:
- The Framework
- An Organizing and Discussion Guide
- An Institutional Self-Assessment Tool
