Synopsis

This series is written to teach and inspire children about democracy, rule of law, free enterprise and so on. It is intended to help them see the merits of these institutions so that they will seek to put them into actual practice in their personal and professional lives as they mature. As they grow up to work or create businesses, think about politics, and prepare their own children to take their place in the world, we want them to have the ideas and resources to create a world that is good for all people.

• 18 Key Principles of Democracy
• "The Adventures of Nadesh & Petra" Story
• Activities to do with Students

Welcome. I hope you enjoy working with this material. Format of the Democracy Book is as follows:

1. A sophisticated version of the democracy principle appearing in bold type
2. An illustration
3. A simple caption under it
4. A blank space large enough that the caption can be written again in a local language other than English
5. A discussion paragraph(s) of a principle of democracy
6. A portion of the story that relates to that democracy principle
7. Experiential activities to help the children understand/remember the democracy principle being taught in that chapter

I have chosen to break democracy into 18 key principles. The number is arbitrary. These 18 principles make sense, although another author may have chosen to represent democracy as being comprised of 21 principles, or 16, etc. In the caption under the illustration a principle is often restated in very simple terms. This is for the benefit of elementary school children.
