Wow! We made it: The first Children’s Parliament in our school EVER – including a cool session on media!

OK. First, we elected two presidents, one boy; one girl.

Then, we jumped right into it. We had a fantastic session on media, today and in the future. Т We shared our drawings that showed both the chances that internet and media can bring: to be connected, to learn together and Т to make friends all around the world.

But we also raised the issue of the problems that media can bring:Т Too much of messaging and internet may make you lose contact to (other) important things in “real” life.

We had a team of reporters blogging live on the disussion, for the first time in their lives – and they had a tough time to follow our discussions

Our presidents did a great job, sometimes calling for order with their symbolic hammer, like they have in real parliaments!

Many thanks for this wonderful “futuristic” experience of democracy, media, arts – and joy!
