Information portal on political education
The information portal on political education is a website for political education that was developed by the Federal Working Group on Political Education Online . The federal agency for political education as well as the regional agencies for political education belong to the federal working group.
The aim of the joint portal is to make the internet offers of political education in Germany accessible to a broad audience under a joint web address. First and foremost, the Internet offers of the federal and state centers for political education are presented. Secondly, offers from other providers in the field of politics and education are published.

The offers are structured thematically. The subject catalog currently comprises over 2000 data records.
