Democracy Week, which begins next week, is an opportunity to meet, educate, and create a meaningful educational event. In a reality of ongoing pain, war, crises of trust, and deep social polarization, democracy becomes a space for life that must be nurtured and maintained on a daily basis.
A lesson that deals with democracy from an educational-civic perspective, focusing on the principles that enable it to function over time. Through experience, games, and discussion, students encounter situations of concentration of power, unfairness, and lack of boundaries, and thereby understand the importance of the separation of powers and checks and balances in democracy.
