Experiencing democracy

Workshop Full day Control tower

Practical political education: Living together – finding solutions as a community

What to expect

Do you want to defend democracy – above all by setting an example through your own actions? But how can we live (more) democratically?

Target groups

Bundeswehr, secondary school classes, general public

Participants

Max. 20

Duration

7 hours including a lunch break

Location

Seminar room in the control tower

This workshop brings political education to life through a direct, engaging and hands-on approach. Through their own actions and experiences within the group, participants learn about how democratic interaction is structured.

Simulations and lived experience

Through surprising simulations, participants experience both democratic and undemocratic behaviour first-hand. The group’s experiences actively feed into the process. In this way, participants learn for themselves how democracy can be put into practice.

Resolving conflicts democratically

The workshop offers an opportunity to explore democratic approaches to decision-making – with all their advantages and challenges. Emphasis is on practical political education focusing on creative conflict resolution and constructive solutions.
