Democracy is much more than just a word - it is a valuable concept that gives us the opportunity to collectively decide on important matters, consider one another, and shape a society where every person has a voice. This book aims to explain to children, in an age-appropriate manner, what democracy means and how it works. Because democracy starts right at home, in school, and among friends. Everyone can contribute to making our world a little fairer, more open, and more respectful. In the following pages, our young readers will accompany Ali and Anton on their journey: the two children discover the meaning of freedom of expression, tolerance, and equality. Together with them, they will learn that it is important to listen to others, show empathy, and find compromises.
