Reform
Institutions that work for people.
Democracy needs people like you.
We are C.R.E.D., an association of young people working for civic engagement in Romania. We teach civic education in high schools, fight disinformation and want the same chances for every young person, wherever they start.
Reform. Equity. Democracy.
Politics isn't just for the people on TV.
We started C.R.E.D. because we were tired of hearing “nothing ever changes anyway”. We wanted to see what happens if we try.
Reform. Equity. Democracy.
The three words in our name. Here is what they mean to us.
Equity
The same chances, wherever you start.
Democracy
Young people who are informed and take part.
