The “Shaping Democracy Ambassadors” project is in its third phase. Following two previous stages that began in 2020, it aims to raise awareness of fundamental political and civil rights issues and promote democratic values and electoral systems within Syrian society. Additionally, the project seeks to exchange global experiences in political activism across different religions, cultures, and political affiliations. It includes training a selected group of activists in democratic transitions and significant political issues and works towards amplifying the Syrian voice in political arenas and presidential elections. The project also aims to foster a culture of dialogue among various Syrian groups in all geographic regions, with particular attention to empowering women and ensuring their active participation in political and social activities.
