Federal Agency for Civic Education, Federal educational agency in Bonn, Germany.
The Federal Agency for Civic Education is a German federal office in Bonn that produces and distributes information material about democratic foundations and political connections. The office operates a visitor center and offices in the Bonn district, where citizens can request or pick up printed materials, booklets and multimedia learning tools.
The office was founded in 1952 in post-war Germany to promote democratic values through educational work and inform citizens about political processes. In the decades that followed, it expanded its offerings with films, events and later digital media to reach a wide audience.
The office distributes free booklets and information materials to schools and libraries across the country. Many of these publications are also available in plain language so all citizens can access political topics.
Visitors can enter the premises during opening hours and browse material on site or take it home. Many publications can also be downloaded or ordered through the website without having to visit in person.
The office publishes hundreds of titles each year, which are used by primary school teachers through to university lecturers. Some of these materials also appear in Turkish, Arabic and Russian to meet the needs of immigrant families.
