The Promoters of Democracy. Education through Film project was initiated by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation's scholarship holders (KAS SUR-PLACE Scholarship Program in the Republic of Moldova - Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Foundation Office in the Republic of Moldova) to promote democratic education among young people in the Republic of Moldova through film. The aim of the project is to motivate students to be active in their communities, drawing inspiration from ten real stories of young promoters of democracy, which form the basis of the short film "Stația Schimbării" (Station of Change).

The film tells the story of Adriana, a high school student who, while writing an article with social impact, discovers through her own civic involvement the democratic processes and values that form the basis of the proper functioning of the community in which she lives.
The discussions after the film, held with students from the Republic of Moldova as part of the "Promoters of Democracy. Education through Film" Caravan, are intended to challenge students to become civically involved, to identify problems in their community that they themselves can help solve, and to inform them about the resources available to them.
The film "Stația Schimbării" (The Station of Change) was produced in 2023. Filming lasted one week and took place in Chișinău, Dănceni, and Trebujeni. The cast includes well-known actors as Mihaela Damian, Ana Tkacenko, and Petru Oistric, as well as young talents such as Diana Boșcov and Renata Țurcanu. The title was suggested and voted on by the students who benefited from the first film caravan, organized in 2024.
