Democracy Workshop: Young people shape the future

During the summer holidays, the Center for Labor and Political Education (zap) at University of Bremen invites young people from the age of 15 to take part in the Democracy Workshop. The event hosting Bremen Youtuber Fabian Nolte will take place from July 23 to 27, 2018.

The participants develop ideas for a sustainable democratic society. They formulate specific recommendations for action, which they then prepare for politics and the public. Registrations are possible until June 25, 2018.

What should living together be like in Germany and Europe? What role do borders play? How can we use the digital space as a democratic platform? These are just a few examples of the questions that young people from the age of 15 can tackle during the Democracy Workshop. They will be supported by the Bremen Youtuber Fabian Nolte. Together they will create their own videos to make their ideas and demands public.

International exchange via Twitter and Videos

The Democracy Workshop will take place simultaneously in several European cities from July 23 to 27, 2018. During the Bremen workshop, participants can exchange ideas and develop common ones with young people from Aarhus, Budapest and Krakow using Twitter and video messages.

Offered by the Center for Labor and Political Education

The Democracy Workshop is offered by the Center for Labor and Political Education (zap) at the University of Bremen. In the workshop, young people develop ideas for a sustainable democratic society. They formulate specific recommendations for action, which they then present to politics and the public. The format is part of the EU project "European Learning Environment Formats for Citizenship and Democracy" (ELEF), which aims to strengthen democratic core values and by doing so to counteract radicalization tendencies.
