Implementation instructions
The students become acquainted with the concept of participatory budgeting, the potential for citizen engagement at the local level, and the opportunities for project proposals in their residential municipalities. They conduct on-site research of the locations for their own projects and present the findings along with the working concept in the classroom. In groups, the students select a project that fits into the participatory budget scheme or other municipal programs for collecting citizens’ proposals. They create the appropriate application and, in case of group consensus, submit the proposal to the local government.
