Citizen Participation Awareness Activity Kit - Municipal Elections

Young people's participation in municipal elections is an investment in the future, as it ensures that they are adequately represented and that their wishes are taken into account. This in turn strengthens our social cohesion by helping to shape more inclusive and dynamic communities for future generations. This activity kit has been developed to support any organization or individual interested in opening up discussions with young people on civic participation. The kit provides several ideas for activities, as well as themes to address with young people in preparation for municipal elections. These are:
– Activity 1: How to make an impact in your community
– Activity 2: How does an election work?
– Activity 3: What are the responsibilities of my municipality?

Montreal's municipal elections are approaching. This is an excellent opportunity to discuss local democracy with young people and encourage them to get involved. The guide is free and available online at all times.
