Welcome to Our Rule of Law: The Podcast, the definitive podcast on democracy and the rule of law, brought to you by the Our Rule of Law Foundation. Today, we are honoured to have participants from our two latest pan-European reserach projects — The Our Rule of Law Academy, and Vote4OurRuleofLaw Fellowship. During the The Our Rule of Law Academy, the participants had a unique chance to write policy proposals on how the EU should better protect the rule of law, and during the Vote4OurRuleofLaw Fellowship, first time voters encourage other first time voters to participate in the last European Parliement elections. Candela, Julia, Canan and Elpiniki will discuss, why it is so important for students and young people to get engage with rule of law and democracy early on, and what lessons they have learned during their projects.  Are you also keen on making your impact? We are currently running an exciting initiative dedicate to youth from across Europe and beyond, where the participants will contribute to "Our Democracy Report" — a report aiming to review the state of democracy from EU Member States, and Candidate Countries. Young Democracy Rapporteurs will be receiving training from world-renowned experts in EU law, media reporting, and political communication. The Rapporteurs will be trained to write concise analysis rooted in quantitative and qualitative approach. This Pan-European effort aims to create the Our Democracy Report (composed of national chapters) that will be published on the Foundation's website, publicly available to every citizen.

Welcome to Our Rule of Law: The Podcast, the definitive podcast on democracy and the rule of law, brought to you by the Our Rule of Law Foundation. In our very first episode, we're excited to welcome András Léderer, a Head of Advocacy at the Hungarian Helsinki Committee. Throughout this interview, we'll uncover his aspirations for what lies ahead and examine the reasons behind his persistence and commitment, even in the face of significant opposition from the Hungarian government. We've asked Márta Pardavi, his colleague and a friend, the co-chair of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee to introduce András and tell us how their paths first crossed. So tune in, engage, and let's explore the foundations of our democracy together.
