Democracy does not only affect one age group – every citizen should have the opportunity to get involved in democratic processes and understand democracy on a deeper level.

The Forum Demokratie invited 24 students from different cultural and social backgrounds from four schools to confront topics like civil rights, democratic developments, and political participation. These themes were worked into the framework of the American civil rights movement. New friendships, excitement about voting for the first time, and new knowledge are the result of the successful three-day workshop.
