This paper aims to capture the interconnection among morals, education and democracy, the role that an educated citizen, guided by moral norms and values plays in accomplishing the foundation of a democratic society. We try to demonstrate that in Romania, it is necessary to use education and moral beliefs in promoting a democratic society based on civic responsibility, direct social contact, personal responsibility, sense of community, civic engagement, trust and social justice. Both schools and religious institutions can better prepare for active citizenship and a strong civil society, regarded as the bedrock of a democratic state.
