Join a Democracy Fitness Trainer camp in Copenhagen in 2027!

Are you looking for an engaging way to strengthen participation and democratic resilience in people’s everyday lives? Do you work in the fields of democracy, facilitation, education, and related areas—whether professionally or otherwise? Now you can become part of the global community of Democracy Fitness trainers!

Join our next open international Democracy Fitness Trainer Camp in February 2027 in Copenhagen to learn new facilitation methods and gain a deeper understanding of democracy as something that requires training. We Do Democracy is hosting the Trainer Camp and is eager to connect with even more passionate practitioners. As the Nordic partner of Democracy Fitness Global, we are part of a global community of people training to make democracy fit! The camp will be held in English. If you are interested in a Danish camp, there is another open Danish camp on February 10–11 (click here).

1. A training metaphor and framework that makes democracy understandable and accessible—even when it is difficult.
2. An active, fun, and social approach that enhances people’s awareness and ability to participate in democracy.
3. An understanding of Democracy Fitness’s democratic foundation and core models.
4. A way to connect democracy with everyday life.
5. Participating in training sessions on the 6 “democracy muscles” and an introduction to all 10.

7. The time it takes to become a trainer and the value of feedback.
8. Connection to a global network of democracy peers across countries and organizations
