Focus AreasThe Street Law Program supports civic and law-related education projects throughout Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia with the goal of enabling young people to contribute to civil society as well-educated, well-prepared citizens.
The program operates in secondary schools, youth centers, and local government agencies. Street Law offers students practical, participatory education about law, democracy, and human rights. Students learn to think critically, express their views confidently, and become active in their communities through classroom activities that can easily be applied in everyday situations. Such activities include community-based projects; visits to local courthouses; mock trials, simulations, and mediations; and regular classroom visits by police officers, judges, lawyers, and other community resource people.
