Children don’t live in the future, but now! They have the right and the skills to engage with political issues and expand their knowledge.
The implementation, the approaches and methods as well as the skills and positioning of the adult actors and, last but not least, the transfer of power and effectiveness in participation processes are crucial for successful political education and participation with children. It is important to include children as important actors with their topics and perspectives in political decision-making processes. This requires appropriate participation formats and offers of (non-formal) political education through which democracy is not only taught theoretically, but is experienced positively.
The conference is dedicated to this topic. Together with children, speakers from theory and practice and the teams from the AdB projects “Academy for Children and Youth Parliaments” and “Democracy professionals in training!” The organizers offer a framework to reflect, think further and discuss:
-
What are the tasks and opportunities for political education with children?
-
What role can/should adults play when working with children?
-
What are age-appropriate, effective and accessible participation formats for children?
