Participation in Education

A role-based participation game designed for lower and upper secondary school students, ideal for subjects like social studies, civics, or geography. The game introduces students to the concept of participatory planning and, through active engagement in discussion, allows them to experience how challenging it can be to reach consensus within a group of people with differing opinions and backgrounds. It helps develop essential skills such as problem-solving, communication, consensus-building, and systems thinking.

IPR Prague, in collaboration with the Czech National Agency for International Education and Research, organized a one-day workshop for 75 high school students, university students, and youth workers from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, who joined us to learn more about urban participation.
