Guide to Democracy

Welcome to the Guide to Democracy

Discover democracy – right here in your town

Democracy might sound like a big word at first – but it’s actually right at the heart of our everyday lives. With the Democracy Guide, you can find out what it really means – right here in your town.

At various locations, you can scan QR codes and discover exciting content. There you’ll learn, for example, what the Basic Law is, why it’s important that everyone is treated equally, and how democratic issues and values are part of our daily lives: at school, among friends, or when you need help. 

On this page, you’ll find various Democracy Guides from different towns and local authorities. Each guide is structured slightly differently and shows you how democracy is lived out locally. This way, you can not only explore your own town in a new way, but also see what’s happening in other places. Click through the guides and discover just how diverse democracy can be.
