2. Researching successful civic education teaching techniques and “Egyptianizing” them (i.e. making sure that they are relevant and interesting)
3. Training teachers and assistants on the topics.
4. Rolling out the competition (in Arabic) across 9 governorates targeting around 3 million Egyptian students.
5. Conducting summer camps during which we teach the children and teen-agers to “interact” democratically.

Lobbying the government to introduce a well researched civic education program into the school system starting from kindergarten and up to high school.

If Civic Education doesn’t do it for you how about Fighting Corruption?

Despite the fact that the Government signed and ratified the U.N. Convention against Corruption, the protections guaranteed by the Convention do not have the force of law in because it was not published in the Egyptian Journals. 
We can NOT allow this to continue we MUST make them publish the treaty

So this is how you can help:
1. Join in our call asking the government to publish the UN Convention so that it becomes an applicable law. To sign the petition

2 Support and motivate all the citizens, reporters and web activists who reported and uncovered corruption cases during 2005 & 2006. To vote in our annual competition .

3 Report Corruption. We all know stories of corruption but the most important thing is the documentation without it we can not build a credible case in the media or the courts. If you have any information or documents that prove a case of corruption; please send us the details To
Report a “substantiated” case of corruption

4. Promote the concept of standing up and fighting corruption. Talk to your friends and colleagues and urge them to take a pro-active stand. Corruption can only exist if we are apathetic. To download visuals(posters, screensavers etc.)

Maybe You don’t want to be involved in either of these projects
