This study explores the reconstruction of democratic education grounded in Pancasila to strengthen civil society amid democratic regression in Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research draws on primary sources—peer-reviewed journals and research reports—and secondary materials such as books and policy documents. Data analysis follows the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model involving data reduction, display, and verification. The findings highlight the urgent need to revitalize democratic education to address issues such as declining political participation, disinformation, and online polarization. Pancasila-based democratic education plays a crucial role in instilling values of tolerance, human rights, deliberation, and social justice among citizens. Key strategies include integrating democratic values across educational curricula, implementing participatory learning models, repositioning political institutions to uphold democratic integrity, and strengthening digital ethics. The study concludes that democratic education grounded in Pancasila is essential not only for sustaining democratic consolidation but also for shaping civic-minded, responsible citizens. This research contributes to current debates on democracy, civic education, and civil society in developing democracies.
