The School of Citizenship is a nationwide initiative led by the First Lady of the Lebanese Republic, H.E. Nehmat Aoun, to inspire, train, and recognize schools that place civic values at the core of their educational mission.

School of Citizenship

The School of Citizenship (SOC) empowers schools to become engines of active citizenship by building the capacity of educators and leaders, and accompanying the implementation of school civic engagement projects. It fosters a national ecosystem rooted in democratic values, solidarity, and a sense of belonging. Through annual recognition and policy dialogue, it celebrates and amplifies the role of education in shaping active citizens across Lebanon.
