Online Games to learn about citizenship and democracy
The Demgames project was developed as part of the Local e-Democracy National Project. The idea is to explore how digital technlogy can be used to engage people in democratic processes. Young people are the key objetive of the project.
Three games are part of the initiative: ‘Captain Campaign’, that allows participants to organise a campaign and choose your own strategies to beat the opponents; ‘Councillor Quest ll’ tries to give an introduction to the work of local councils and councillors. ‘Money Manager’ is the third one.
The website also offers complete guides to help teachers or anyone else integrate the games into their citizenship classes.
