The goal of this educational programmes is to promote political knowledge and engagement among participants, with a particular focus on Christian-democratic values, political responsibility, and active citizenship. As part of the event in Ptuj, the NSi party leadership, led by party president Matej Tonin MEP, together with representatives of the NSi Youth Organisation and the participants, addressed a variety of relevant topics. These included the fundamentals of Christian Democracy, the functioning of political parties, the characteristics of local electoral campaigns, the role of the state in a market economy, and the importance of public relations and social media for the success of political parties. Ultimately, the "Political Academy" provides a valuable platform for learning about political philosophy, legislative processes, communication between party representatives and the media, and the successful leadership of political campaigns.
