Join us for the next Democracy Fitness Trainer Camp in Copenhagen in 2027!

Are you interested in our democratic culture and would you like to exercise our democratic muscles? Do you work with democracy, facilitation, education, or something else entirely that brings people together and strengthens their democratic agency?

Here’s your chance to become part of the growing community of Democracy Fitness trainers!

Join our next open Democracy Fitness Trainer Camp in February 2027 in Copenhagen to learn modern and engaging facilitation methods and gain a deeper understanding of democracy as something that requires practice.

We believe that democracy needs more spaces where people of all ages, social groups, and opinions can exercise our democratic muscles together. That’s why We Do Democracy is a Nordic partner in the NGO Democracy Fitness Global—a global movement working to make democracy fit and vibrant!

The Coach Camp is conducted in Danish.

What are the benefits of participating in a Democracy Fitness Trainer Camp:

1. A training metaphor and facilitation method that makes democracy understandable and accessible—even when it’s difficult.
2. An active, fun, and social method that embodies democratic self-confidence—and that strengthens people’s awareness of and skills in participating in democracy.
3. A way to connect democracy to everyday life.
4. An understanding of Democracy Fitness’s democratic foundation and core models.
5. Participation in training on the six “democracy muscles” and an introduction to all 10.
6. Introduction to Practice and Setup—From Scriptbooks to Props and the Temporary Training Room.
7. Facilitation techniques and practice time to become a Democracy Fitness trainer, and the gift of feedback
8. Connection to your national network of Democracy Fitness trainers
9. Democracy Fitness Trainer Role: Presentation, Embodiment, and How to Instruct Groups
10. You’ll become a certified Democracy Fitness trainer! This includes an introduction to the trainer’s toolkit, onboarding to the trainer’s code of conduct, and Democracy Fitness as a global movement
