Political Activity

Nowadays Europe is facing nationalistic, radical, populist movements - the rise of the strongman, which is challenging the idea of liberal democracy itself. Youngsters either don’t want to be involved in the "rotten politics", or they just move to countries which are more experienced in democracy. Hence, authoristic governments can emerge. Populism and the lack of involvement are never good signs for a democracy. If we do nothing, it is possible, that bad governments will make decisions above the citizens. Our main goal is to provide - instead of the radicalism mentioned above - the alternative of the democratically concious civil involvement, which is coming from the mutual respect and understanding of each other, based on our shared responsibilty as European citizens.

Methods: 

• Simulating political systems, different kinds of democracies, dictatorship, anarchy
• Creating our own country, our tribes
• Community art methods to create a fictional culture - painting, music, theatre
• Debate forums with different formats and interactive tasks about political topics, where we would prefer to discuss universal or actual political issues, but not party political questions.
