The key features include
- Children are organized into smaller groups within their neighborhoods, typically consisting of around 30 members.
- These smaller units serve as the foundation for the overall structure, allowing for more localized representation and engagement.
- The neighborhood units come together to form a federation, creating a sociocratic system where decisions are made collectively with an emphasis on equal participation.
- The federated structure allows for coordination and collaboration between different neighborhood units.
- The primary purpose of the children’s parliament is to empower young individuals to advocate for their rights, express their values, and understand their duties as active members of society.
- Discussions within the parliament may revolve around issues affecting children, such as education, safety, health, and overall well-being.
- The parliamentary system encourages participatory decision-making, where children have the opportunity to voice their opinions, propose ideas, and contribute to the decision-making process.
- This fosters a sense of responsibility and ownership among the children regarding the issues that directly impact their lives.
- The children’s parliament serves as an educational platform, helping participants develop essential skills such as communication, critical thinking, and leadership.
- It also provides a space for children to learn about civic responsibilities, democratic principles, and the importance of community engagement.
