DEMOCRACY.ACADEMY
About

Democracy.Academy is a study program of the Academy of Visual Arts, Frankfurt (Frankfurter Akademie für Kommunikation and Design).

The program aims to actively shape democratic processes (with special reference to Article 1, Paragraph 1 of the German Constitution: "Human dignity is inviolable. It is the duty of all state authorities to respect and protect it").

The Academy realizes this goal through the following means

  1. the teaching of relevant course content (with a focus on the relationship between design and democracy, both historically and currently),

  2. research and development of methodological procedures for activating democratic processes with the means of Disegno in the media and physical space,

  3. implementation of the methodological procedures on the basis of concrete project planning, so-called Practice Projects, which are carried out in cooperation with partners from all areas of society and form the core element of the Democracy.Academy study program.
