Children's Parliament
Anna Faroqhi and Haim Peretz
In a small village in Brandenburg, a group of children aged 6 to 13 has established the Groß Schauen Youth Advisory Council, a children’s parliament. Here, they actively participate in democratic decision-making processes to represent the interests of their community. One of their key initiatives is advocating for a 30 km/h speed limit on the main road running through their village.
By organizing a demonstration on this road, the young parliament members experience the current political discussions and disputes of adult politics up close.
