Moreover, they will get familiar with democratic values and decision making techniques. They will learn how toevaluate critical issues concerning the local level and become more motivated in getting engaged with their local community.Concerning teachers, the project aims to help them develop new democratic techniques and get familiar with new teachingmethods.<< Implementation >>Students will research about their local administration system and present them to the students of the other countries. Themain activities during the 3 mobilities consist of simulations of the local administration system: students will forminternational teams simulating roles of the real local government. Research in the field will help decide a number of criticalissues that have to be decided and students will simulate the process of the decision making in the local level.<< Results >>The project's results are going to include presentations of the local administration systems as created by local students andpresentations of the international workgroups that will be formed in order to research and suggest solutions for a critical localissue. All the results are going to be published in the project's Twinspace, social networks and in a specific corner of eachparticipating school.
