LESSON
Lesson Learned: Learning Democracy DemoLab in Hungary
Bringing together stakeholders in ‘unexpected combinations’, creating the opportunity for joint working and ‘co-creation’ can have a high added value. For instance, bringing artists
into the traditional high school education and making teachers working directly with artists; and both working as equal partners with students can be seen as one of the most valuable
added values of the DemoLab project.

Project Description
The project offers a unique opportunity for experiential learning for young people of all walks of life. It enables them to acquire basic personal, social and citizenship skills and experience a democratic and safe environment in which they are encouraged to take initiatives of their own. This will happen through regularly organized Demo Lab sessions in high schools, boot camps in the summer and assemblies at the beginning of the school year, to empower young Hungarians to take active part in shaping their communities and society, and to inspire others to follow suit.
