Every year, on September 15, the International Day of Democracy is marked, an occasion to reflect on democratic values, citizens' rights and responsibilities, as well as the importance of each of us participating in the life of society.

In this context, the chairwoman of the Electoral Council of the Glodeni District Electoral Circumscription No. 19, Mariana Hanganu, together with Mr. Gheorghe Rată, CICDE trainer, conducted an information and awareness activity at the "D. Cantemir" Gymnasium in the city of Glodeni, with students from the eighth and ninth grades.

The activity aimed to promote democratic values, facilitate a better understanding of the principles of democracy, and encourage the active and responsible participation of young people in democratic life.

During the discussions, students had the opportunity to learn about and debate important topics regarding the role and importance of elections in a democratic society, the role of citizens in decision-making processes, as well as the importance of young people's involvement in community and societal life.

Particular emphasis was placed on the idea that democratic participation is not limited to exercising the right to vote, but involves being informed, responsible, engaged, and respecting the opinions and rights of others.

Students demonstrated interest, curiosity, and active involvement throughout the activity, asking questions and participating in discussions. Their enthusiasm and openness confirm that civic education plays an essential role in shaping a generation of informed, responsible citizens engaged in community development.

The Electoral Council of the Glodeni District Electoral Circumscription No. 19 extends sincere thanks to Ms. Djeta Vasilos, the director of the "D. Cantemir" Gymnasium, for her collaboration, support, and responsiveness in promoting civic education and democratic values among young people.

Democracy is built through participation, and a strong democratic society begins with informed and responsible citizens.
