When the project started in the 2024/25 school year, five schools in each of the four administrative districts were initially selected and invited to take part in the action days.

The programme is usually carried out in a school class from year 7 onwards. During the school year, the pupils in this class participate in five workshop modules with different approaches to democracy education. Alternatively, the five programmes can also be completed by a learning group comprising pupils from several classes during a project week.

All workshops are targeted at pupils, vary in structure and are carried out by established institutions of political education. There are no costs for the individual school in question.

The following providers and institutions are involved in organising the Democracy Education action days, focusing on different topics:

• State Centre for Political Education: free choice of topics
• “Yad be Yad” project: Encountering diversity, practising tolerance
• WERTansicht agency: Learning democracy through play (theatrical performance exercises)
• Jugendstiftung Baden-Württemberg: Right-wing extremism
• Landesmedienzentrum Baden-Württemberg: Fake news, conspiracy myths, dealing with social media

Schule für Demokratie - Aktionstage Demokratiebildung

Die Aktionstage Demokratiebildung in Kooperation mit dem Kultusministerium Baden-Württemberg sind ein Angebot, das darauf abzielt, demokratische Haltungen und Werte von Schülerinnen und Schülern an der Schule zu stärken. Darüber hinaus fördern die Aktionstage das Grundlagenwissen über Demokratie und regen zur Beteiligung an demokratischen Prozessen in der Schule und im Lebensumfeld an.
