Saxon State Centre for Political Education
The Saxon State Agency for Political Education (SLpB) strengthens democratic engagement in the Free State of Saxony by addressing social, historical and contemporary issues. Through its publications, events and online offerings, it creates spaces for information, exchange and controversial debate. It imparts knowledge and promotes political participation, judgement and action. The aim is to support a politically interested, opinionated and committed civil society in Saxony.
Profile
The Saxon State Centre for Political Education was established by the Free State of Saxony in 1991 as a non-incorporated institution under public law.
The legal basis for its activities is a statutory educational mandate in which it was entrusted with the promotion of political education measures on a non-partisan basis. Its mandate is defined in more detail in an administrative regulation. According to these regulations, we must in particular work towards coordination and cooperation with other public and independent providers of political education, organise public political education events, support political education work through publications, books and films and collect experience and scientific findings and make these available for political education.
The SLpB's personnel management body is the Saxon State Ministry of Culture.
The Saxon State Centre for Political Education wants to encourage and support people in Saxony to get involved. We offer information and tools to all Saxon citizens. A board of trustees ensures that our work is non-partisan.
