LETTER OF SUPPORT

for

THE EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR THE
EDUCATION FOR DEMOCRACY

I strongly support the activity of the European Centre for the Education for Democracy, the importance and relevance of which are hard to overestimate in the light of today’s undemocratic changes occurring throughout Europe and the world. I believe that the ECED Centre may substantially contribute to the global return to the democratic path.

Acknowledging that – to use Nelson Mandela’s words which the ECED Centre rests on – education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world, I express my support for ECED and share its underlying view that in order to preserve the democratic order across Europe, pro-democracy educational programmes are badly required.
