Today, September 15, we mark the International Day of Democracy, a day that reminds us of the importance of freedom, respect, equality, and responsibility in the society we live in. Democracy is not just about elections and the right to vote. It means, above all, the right of every person to express their opinion, to be heard, and to participate in community life.

Democracy begins right in school. When students are taught to listen to their classmates' opinions, to accept ideas different from their own, and to resolve conflicts through dialogue. When class representatives are elected, when they participate in school activities or actively engage in community projects, they learn to be active and responsible citizens.

In this context, the president of the Electoral Council of Electoral District No. 31, Ciobanu Ghenadie, conducted an information and awareness activity at IPCE Mihai Volontir Gymnasium-Kindergarten in Glinjeni village, attended by students from the 8th and 9th grades.

During the activity, an open dialogue was held with the youth, highlighting the fact that being free does not mean doing anything, but exercising one's rights with respect for the rights of others. The future of democracy depends on the generation of these young people - on how they will learn, communicate, and engage in society. In this context, students are encouraged to be brave in expressing their opinions, respectful towards those around them, responsible for their choices, and active in community life.

An important aspect discussed was the significance of voting as a means by which citizens exercise one of their fundamental rights and contribute to the election of representatives who will make decisions for the community and the country.

The Electoral Council of the Şoldănești District Electoral Circumscription extends sincere thanks to Ms. Veronica Volontir, director of IPCE Mihai Volontir Gymnasium-Kindergarten, for her openness and receptiveness in carrying out this activity.

Let us build together a society where every voice matters, every person is respected, and differences bring us closer rather than divide us.
