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

School of Citizenship (SOC) is an initiative under Generation of Citizens, the flagship program of the First Lady’s mandate. It empowers schools to become engines of active citizenship by strengthening the capacity of educators and school leaders, while supporting the implementation of civic engagement projects within their communities. SOC fosters a national ecosystem rooted in democratic values, solidarity, and a shared sense of belonging. Through annual recognition and structured policy dialogue, it celebrates and amplifies the transformative role of education in shaping engaged, responsible citizens across Lebanon.
