The Tan Yan Kee Foundation(TYKF) and the Philippine Center for Civic Education and Democracy (PCCED) recently sealed their partnership for the advancement of responsible citizenship in the country through Project Citizen.
The project has its roots in the interdisciplinary Committee on civic Education formed in 1964 at the University of California, Los Angeles. The committee was tasked to develop more effective curricular programs in elementary and secondary civic education. Eventually, the Center for Civic Education and Democracy (CCE) became an independent non-profit organization with offices in Washington, D.C. and in Los Angeles, California.
