Empower yourself today to be part of your country’s future.

“Draw Me Democracy” is Poster for tomorrow’s new project and it’s also one of the few global projects that the UNDEF, the United Nation Democracy Fund, has ever financed.

The aim of DMD is to help young artists, designers and communication professionals in taking an active role in all democratic and/or human rights-related processes and it wishes of doing so by helping them in finding their own strong creative voice. In this context, the empowerment of women is at the core of DMD priorities.

With these goals in mind, DMD is a series of 12 free of charge, one-week poster design workshops across 12 key countries scattered around Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America.
The workshops aim to strengthen the participants knowledge and skills in the fields of design, social communication and advocacy advertising.

The experience will come full circle after 6 months follow up, when few more workshops will take place in some of the 12 countries or even in some new ones in order to make more designers benefit this initiative.

Project timeline How does it work?

The current edition of Draw Me Democracy will hit 12 cities in 3 continents: Africa, Asia and Latin America. The workshops will take place between mid April and the end of May 2012.

The dates for the second round of workshop follow-ups are still to be defined, but they will take place roughly a year from now. We will do our best to fix the calendar as soon as possible and let everyone know about it.
