Centers for pluralism

What is the "Newsletter”? The Newsletter is a quarterly compendium of information about activities conducted in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union by Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that work in an area generally called "civic education." What is civic education? This term has several meanings, but we use it in its widest sense: all activities that allow people to become citizens, and all citizens to become better citizens. What are the "Centers for Pluralism"? These are NGOs that form a voluntary, informal network. These NGOs are active, outreaching organizations that conduct diversified programs in the general area of civic education. These NGOs are independent, willing to work with NGOs in their own countries, and also willing to work with similar organizations in other countries. (fragment)
