The objectives of these two training courses are, firstly, to acquire knowledge of the simulation game methodology (simulation game of democratic processes) as such and, secondly, to develop transversal skills in relation to the specific themes addressed. In concrete terms, this is done through two 5-day training courses, aimed at multipliers who take on the role of policy makers and/or committed citizens who will work on themes that fall within the remit of European and/or local policies. The partner associations thus aim to - promote civic engagement and participation of young people in democratic life in Europe - to make known a method that is (re)known in Germany but not/less known in Belgium and France: the Planspiel. This method allows an innovative approach to citizenship education. For Germany, the implementation of this method in a trilateral context is also a novelty - to encourage the mobility of youth workers and to strengthen the cooperation of organisations in the youth sector The trainees are then asked to run simulation games in their networks with the aim of - support the knowledge and understanding of the functioning of the European institutions, consisting of the institutional triangle: the European Parliament, the Commission and the European Council - experiment with a democratic decision-making process using the Planspiel method - to strengthen the understanding of political processes among young people, including at local level
