POSSIBLE STATESTopic: Democracy & measurementEveryone says “democracy.” What are they agreeing to?
Self-contained introductionRead the same survey answer through very different political lives. Decide what counts as democratic support, design a better measure and see which claims your evidence can carry.
POSSIBLE STATESTopic: Representation & framingThe facts are in. What counts as a problem?
Self-contained introductionTake a seat in a citizens’ assembly. Turn a pattern into a public argument, defend your benchmark and answer a challenge. Leave with a poster and the reasoning behind it.
POSSIBLE STATESTopic: Rights & political accessThe right exists. Can you actually use it?
A good first activityA worker tries to vote. A volunteer tries to reach voters. Residents try to get an answer. Find where access breaks down, defend your account at a hearing and replay one changed rule.
POSSIBLE STATESTopic: Citizenship & nationalismYou wrote the rules. Who did you leave out?
Plan a longer sittingDesign a country’s promise, then put it through citizenship, language, schools, religion and voting disputes. A family you did not plan for is about to test your principles.
