This is the new phase in the project Democratic Workshops, in which the children, in direct contact with the MPs may learn about democracy and parliament. The Parliament shall seek to provide students from as many schools and classes with the opportunity to talk to MPs and ask questions.

Strengthening the relationship between parliament and the youth, especially primary school population, the Montenegrin Parliament has been realizing through the project "Democratic Workshop", which is organized under the program "Open Parliament". Through discussions in an informal setting, as well as through interactive content, and in a manner suited to their age, participants have the opportunity to gain new knowledge of parliamentary democracy, the functioning of Parliament, the adoption and application of laws, and the role of media in a pluralistic society.

The Project “Democratic Workshops“, conducted since 8th October, 2012, had gathered more than 2.000 elementary school students from seven Montenegrin municipalities - Podgorica, Nikšić, Kolašin, Bar, Budva, Kotor and Herceg Novi. Within four-hour workshops, the children have the opportunity to visit the building of the Parliament of Montenegro, learn about the manner of work, responsibilities and the history of institution, and from the press facilities directly experience the atmosphere of the discussion and adoption of laws.

Democratic Workshops have been organized by the Parliament of Montenegro, with the technical and professional implementation of the Forum of Youth and Informal Education (Forum MNE)  and financial support of the ERSTE Foundation.
