Living in a constitutional state (Rechtsstaat) - what does that mean for you?

Law, the rule of law, and the constitutional state: these key terms sound abstract and sometimes very far removed from everyday life. Yet the law governs how we live together, from human rights to traffic regulations. We encounter it every day, and still it cannot be taken for granted. It does not only restrict us; it also gives us freedoms. The constitutional state depends on features such as legal certainty, equality before the law, and the separation of powers. Above all, however, it depends on the acceptance and commitment of the people in the country.

Our educational offerings are intended to make the constitutional state both more tangible and intelligible to a broad spectrum of people. We do this by offering workshops, educational materials, events, continuing education courses, in-person meetings, exhibitions, and much more. Our activities and offerings encompass a broad spectrum: some are more creative and relaxed, others are more serious, and a few are quite entertaining – but regardless of the format, they are always informative!
