Extractions: Romania May Seminar for 13 regional politicians from Romania, on the theme "The Ethical Foundations of Democracy". Held in Geneva. REPORT 13 Romanian politicians, from different political parties and from all over the country, took part in a nine-day seminar, May 14-22, based in Geneva on 'The ethical foundations of democracy'. The aim of the seminar, organised by Moral Re-Armament Switzerland in association with Foundations for Freedom, was to deepen their understanding of the underlying ethical values on which democracy depends - tolerance, dialogue, respect for opponents - drawing on the Swiss experience. The selecting and organising at the Romanian end was undertaken by the 'Associatia Pro Democratia', a recognised Non-Governmental Organisation involved with civic education, monitoring elections, and training candidates. The 'Soros Foundation for an Open Society' in Bucharest helped in the selection process and covered the costs of travel to and from Geneva. The 13 who came had been chosen out of 130 applicants, and their high level of motivation and hunger to learn were striking A budget of 13,000 Swiss francs was raised from several sources including a grant of 5,000 SwFr from the Geneva Cantonal government.

Civic Journalism Rebuilding the foundations of democracy By Edward M. Fouhy ExecutiveDirector, Pew Center for Civic Journalism From Civic Partners, Spring 1996
http://www.cpn.org/topics/communication/civicjourn.html

Extractions: Published by the Pew Partnership for Civic Change. Civic journalism is about providing people with the news and information they need to allow them to function as citizens, to make the decisions they are called on to make in a democratic society. To understand this "work-in-progress" of civic journalism, it is useful to lay out the premises on which civic journalism is based. The first premise is that something is eating at the foundations of our society. Take nearly any objective yardstick and use it to measure where we used to be and where we are now as a society: Illegitimate births are up 16 1/2 percent from 1973-1992;
