Objectives

Through the project, we want to encourage young people to consciously participate in elections. An active social attitude and the exercise of the right to vote are necessary if we want to live in a democratic country where young people are satisfied with the policies pursued by those in power. During the workshops, we will explain to participants the most important concepts related to elections, such as voter turnout or the competences of politicians in various positions. Familiarizing participants with the technical aspects of state management will make them aware of the entire electoral process, thanks to which they will not be susceptible to manipulation. Moreover, during the workshops we will focus on developing participants' critical thinking skills. Critical thinking is very important, especially in today's world where, thanks to access to social media, we are bombarded with a lot of false information every day. During the workshops, we will show young people how to select information when checking political campaigns, which, combined with the necessary knowledge about the electoral process, will enable participants to make informed electoral decisions. Our main goal is to break the myth that "it is not worth voting because it will not change anything" and to encourage young people to consciously participate in elections and inspire others to do so.
