Samara (Samara Canada) is a nonprofit, non-partisan advocacy group for citizen engagement and participation. Samara carries out independent research on the state of Canada's democratic institutions and attitudes Canadians hold about public life. Its efforts to date have focused on the federal level, though the organization's findings have application to provincial and local politics in Canada. Samara's aim is to provide resources to citizens in better understanding their political structures. Samara's efforts fall into three categories: Samara Democracy Reports, Samara in the Classroom and Democracy Talks. The Democracy Reports are independent research conducted by Samara to expose aspects of Canadian public life to scrutiny. The first report in the series was the MP Exit Interviews which surveyed former Members of Parliament on how they entered politics and viewed their role. Since that time reports have been released on other topics such as those disengaged from the political process, and the role of political parties. Samara in the Classroom provides resources to middle and secondary school teachers, as well as professors and post-secondary students on how to more effectively teach people about Canada's democracy. The Democracy Talks series is an outreach program to help citizens connect to their democracy. ==Origin of Name and Mandate== The organization is named after a samara, "the winged helicopter seed that falls from the maple tree." They note the samara "is a symbol of Canada, and a reminder that from small seeds, big ideas can grow."〔http://www.samaracanada.com/about-us/about-us〕
