bpb
The work of the bpb centres on promoting awareness for democracy and participation in politics. It takes up topical and historical subjects by issuing publications, by organising seminars, events, study trips, exhibitions and competitions, by providing extension training for journalists and by offering films and online products. The broad range of educational activities provided by the bpb is designed to motivate people and enable them to give critical thought to political and social issues and play an active part in political life. Considering Germany's experience with various forms of dictatorial rule down through its history, the Federal Republic of Germany bears a unique responsibility for firmly anchoring values such as democracy, pluralism and tolerance in people's minds. Now, in the age of the media society, the bpb applies modern methods of communication and makes cross-use of the media.
The bpb has a wide range of services on offer to teachers and anyone involved in education and youth work. It adresses young people directly by dealing with topics and using media that suit their age. It develops special media packages and advanced training activities for young people in sports clubs, in the Bundeswehr or in the police. Now, in the age of the media society, the bpb applies modern methods of communication and makes cross-use of the media.
