On May 24, 2023, Mgr. Alena Cilíková from Gymnázium Myjava led a Student Parliament Elections workshop, connected to the subject of Civic education. The students first discussed the role of the Student Parliament, before proceeding to activities connected with the election itself.

The students were separated into several groups, each tasked with forming their own political parties and each picking their speaker, then preparing a poster introducing their policies. One group formed the Election Committee and prepared the ballot box and all the papers. After preparing their campaigns and giving their voting speeches, the students experienced simulated elections and after counting the votes, the official winner was announced. The workshop helped foster the students’ creative and communicative skills, as well as teaching them civic responsibility.
