Bring democracy to life! 🎤 Workshop for young people – Get involved, have your say, and help shape decisions.

Description

Young people clearly support democracy – yet at the same time, scepticism towards politics and political institutions is growing. Many feel underrepresented and wish for more participation and transparency. After all, democracy thrives on active involvement!

This is where the three-hour workshop (1x3 teaching units) comes in. Starting from the everyday realities of young people, it highlights how political decisions shape daily life. The focus is not on conveying factual knowledge, but on exploring the question: What does politics have to do with me in concrete terms? Using practical examples, playful methods, and joint reflection, participants will see how democratic processes work, why participation matters, and what role each individual plays in creating a vibrant, just society.

Notes

Please note: the suggested workshop times (08:00 to 11:00 or 13:00 to 16:00) are examples for morning and afternoon sessions. You can coordinate the exact start time to fit your schedule directly with the trainers.

The workshop takes place at the schools; our trainers will come directly to the classrooms.
