Die Aufgabe der Bundeszentrale für politischen Bildung/bpb ist es, Verständnis für politische Sachverhalte zu fördern, das demokratische Bewusstsein zu festigen und die Bereitschaft zur politischen Mitarbeit zu stärken. The German Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) is a federal public authority providing citizenship education and information on political issues to all people in Germany. “Citizenship education” in this connection broadly means educating and encouraging citizens to actively participate in society and in the democratic process. The bpb’s work focuses on fostering an awareness of what democracy is and on furthering participation in politics and social life.
