Because of the special circumstances of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Hellenic Association for the Promotion of Rhetoric in Education (www.rhetoricedu.com) and Kallion Leadership, Inc. (https://kallion.org/) will host online the 2nd International Democracy e-camp for international college students. Experts in fields of psychology, rhetoric, literature, linguistics, law, and political science will work with camp participants to appreciate and practice a range of democratic behaviors including showing empathy, cultivating self-awareness, perspective-taking, civil problem-solving, conflict resolution, mentoring others, and building alliances. International participants will work with each other, and bond with each other, by sharing the similarities and differences in their understanding of democracy. By becoming better at democratic leadership we can all serve as a positive example to others and improve the structures and procedures that make all democratic governments function well across the globe.

Certificate of Completion

Participants in the camp will receive a Certificate of Completion. To earn their certificate participants need to attend all four 1,5-hour weekly workshops with their facilitators, all four 1,5-hour weekly workshops without their facilitators, and at least three of the plenary sessions

during the camp. They must also contribute significantly to the creation of their cohort’s capstone portfolio.
