Citizenship education reinvented through play

On Saturday March 16, Démocratie Ouverte was in Valenciennes for the Festival Provox organized by the Comité Régional des Associations de Jeunesse et d'Education Populaire (CRAJEP)! Bringing together young people, associations, companies and local authorities, the Festival helps promote the voice of young people in decisions and actions that concern them. 
A total of 273 participants were on hand to discuss the place of young people, citizen participation initiatives and to lead a whole multi-actor network of participation and citizenship.

The perfect opportunity to reinvent citizenship education and encourage participant engagement by offering them the chance to play at the Democracy Fresco! The Démocratie Ouverte team facilitated a Fresque workshop with the youngsters, enabling them to discuss our democracy and ways of getting involved.
