Our Rule of Law Foundation

Over Our Rule of Law Foundation

The Our Rule of Law (ORoL) Foundation, national winner of the 2024 European Charlemagne Youth Prize, is committed to safeguarding the rule of law and democracy across Europe and beyond.

Established by Elene Amiranashvili (Georgia/Netherlands), Zuzanna Uba (Poland) and Anna Walczak (Poland), under the mentorship of Professor John Morijn (Netherlands), this initiative found its roots in 2021 at the University of Groningen. It began with a focus on Poland's legal challenges but quickly expanded its mission to address broader European Union concerns. Through education, engagement, and advocacy, the Our Rule of Law Foundation is at the forefront of mobilising youth and fostering a deeper understanding of democracy's foundational principles, ensuring a robust and resilient rule of law for future generations.

Our mission is to mobilise the youth towards developing Pan-European policy solutions addressing the rule of law and democracy crisis. We aim to foster opportunities for students to engage with leading experts on democratic backsl

The Foundation works based on 3 core values: (1) Democracy is worth it - we want to live in democratic societies with protection of minorities, separation of power amongst different governing institutions, and an active civil society with meaningful public participation! (2) Taking action - we do something to combat democratic backsliding that is ripping some of our countries and the EU apart; and (3) For students, by students - we create forums for young people to learn from and with each other.
