Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Citizen Participation, Humanities, International, International Exchange, Promotion of International Understanding
Mission: Since 1991, the Civic Education Project (CEP) has sponsored scholars, academics and professionals in the social sciences to teach for at least one year in universities of Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia. Currently CEP has close to 200 Fellows teaching in 97 universities in 19 countries throughout the region. We expose approximately 20,000 students in former communist states to international teaching methodologies, texts, course materials, and academic conferences in the social sciences each year.
Working closely with university officials and faculty, CEP strives to identify the most pressing needs of its partner universities and recruits Western-trained academics specifically suited to address those needs. In addition to teaching courses requested by the host department or faculty, CEP Fellows cooperate with local colleagues in designing new curricula, developing local language teaching materials, securing Western book donations, seeking research funds, and identifying opportunities for talented faculty and students to receive training outside their home countries.
