1 Summer School 2014 on Human Rights, Minorities and Diversity Management, Italy Summer School 2014 on Human Rights, Minorities and Diversity Management, Italy The idea of democracy presupposes that all citizens have the right to active and passive political participation. The inclusion of minorities in decision-making processes is therefore essential for a peaceful and democratic society. In practice, however, numerous challenges and barriers prevent minority groups from effective participation in public life, particularly from political participation and representation. The 2014 Summer School explores these challenges to the political participation of national minorities, indigenous peoples and migrants, and introduces participants to the standards, laws and institutions that exist on local, national and international level to support the participation of minority groups.
