The House for Democracy and Inclusion works on these topics:
- Democracy
Democracy
In a democracy, citizens make decisions.
They can freely elect politicians.
If people are not satisfied, they can choose different politicians in the next election.
In a democracy, the people decide.
It is also said: In a democracy, power comes from the people.
- Inclusion
Inclusion
Inclusion means: nobody is excluded.
Society is organised so that everyone has a place and can take part.
All people have the same rights and opportunities.
For this, society must adapt, not the individual people.
- Participation
Participation
Participation means: all people can take part and help make decisions.
They can be actively involved in something.
- Human rights
Human rights
Human rights are rules that should apply to all people in the world.
They are meant to protect human dignity and rights.
Human dignity is violated, for example, when people are not allowed to speak their opinion freely.
Or when people do not have enough to eat.
Or when people do not get medical care.
For example, human rights say: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”
Many countries have promised to follow human rights.
Germany has also promised to respect human rights.
The House for Democracy and Inclusion connects education, research and practice.
There is an archive for special education in the building.
The archive is important for the work of Schloss Trebnitz.
