Step Up Politics
About Us
Our Story
Step Up Politics is a youth-driven, innovative educational organization whose mission is to plant a seed of curiosity in the minds of youth, to make it germinate and flourish in the fascinating world of Politics - International Relations, Public Policy, Political Theory, Political Science. In an era of rising polarization and declining political literacy, we are convinced that to create and cultivate informed civic engagement, it is essential that students take on the roles of learner and teacher simultaneously. Our teaching philosophy is inspired by this main doctrine: "the best way to learn is to teach" - Robert Oppenheimer.
Knowledge is acquired by all and for all, to explore politics and the systems that shape our world: from governance and policy to the technological and scientific forces driving modern political challenges. Thanks to our organization, we hope that each curious student can not only participate in the new and exhilarating experiences of others but also share, in turn, the riches of political understanding, critical thinking, and civic leadership.
