About SILC

Who we are

We are a liberal foundation working with democracy support. By strengthening activists in totalitarian states, we are supporting them in their struggle against dictators and for democracy. SILC was established in late 1980’s by the Liberal People’s Party (Now the Liberal Party). We currently work in Eastern Europe, North Africa and Latin America.

We collaborate with liberal parties and foster inter-party dialogue. Strengthening of political participation among women and youths is a recurring theme in our work. In addition, we support civil society organisations and independent media in their struggle for civic and human rights.

In our work we meet many extraordinary people who make great contributions in the fight for democracy and human rights. Their voices must be heard. Therefore we publish books and arrange seminars where they can tell their stories.
