Let’s vote

During the training course, youth workers will explore methods and tools to educate young people about the impact of their choices and decisions as citizens on the society and demonstrate to them the importance of voting and active citizenship.

This training course is part of the KA2 project ‘Let’s vote’.  It includes 12 participants and 4 team members from 4 countries (Slovenia, France, Spain and Portugal).

During the training course, youth workers will explore methods and tools to educate young people about the impact of their choices and decisions as citizens on the society and demonstrate to them the importance of voting and active citizenship.

We will examine the reasons for low interest of young people for voting and the reasons for low voter participation amongst youth. We will also explore various ways to raise the interest of young people for voting and reflect on ways to minimise the obstacles faced by young people to go voting.

We will have a look at the educational material created during the first phase of the project, an educational board game called “The Choice”. We will learn how to play it and facilitate it in an educational setting.

We will also have a look at other tools to address the issues mentioned, such as Forum Theatre, games…
