SUMMARY
To the proposal of and in co-operation with the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies (of the Graduate Faculty, New School for Social Research, New York, U.S.A.), the Belgrade Circle NGO together with Alternative Academic Educational Network (AAOM) has accepted to organize and conduct the program Democracy Seminars to be held in Yugoslavia in 2000 and 2001. Democracy Seminars 2001 should be understood as a sequel of the same TCDS’s initiative held in Belgrade in 1991 and in 2000. Democracy Seminars 2001 is planned as a series of six session, a sequence of Democracy Seminars 2000 conceptualized and conducted in the same form. It will be held in the period of April-December, 2001.
In new political circumstances caused by political changes in October 2000, the Belgrade Circle has decided to extend the initial idea of Democracy Seminars 2000: Democracy Postponed to another series of six session, re-named and subtitled Educating Citizens for Democracy.
Democracy Seminars 2000: Democracy Postponed program consists of six sessions to be held in the the period between March, 2000-Februray 2001. Three of the sessions (one in March, two in November) were held and conducted sucessfully in Belgrade and Novi Sad. Sessions are planned to be organized in the form of public lectures and debates.
