Together we build democracy.

Representative Democracy What is a municipality? Which bodies represent it? How are they elected? When are you voting who is elected? What are the competences of each of the bodies of the municipality? From a didactic point of view, this is a topic that is very much directed at young people and schools. Citizenship education is one of the most relevant steps to create informed young people, and aware and participatory citizens. Awareness raising at a time when levels of voter participation are low and citizens seem increasingly distant from the powers, central and local. When we are witnessing the growth of extremist factions calling into question representative democracy, favoured by the high abstention and misinformation in social networks.
