In the field of adult education, political education is the task of the Bavarian State Center for Political Education and the Academy for Political Education. The European Academy of Bavaria and party-affiliated foundations and associations should also be mentioned.
Political education serves to impart knowledge and basic attitudes for citizens to act in the public sphere. This involves the acquisition of factual knowledge about political systems and orders, international and global contexts, historical chains of events and individual political fields that may require special attention, such as past dictatorships, ecology, basic questions of law and economics, etc.
