Description
There has been a political shift to the right in Germany for some years now. More and more people are voting for politically far-right positions. For example, the right-wing populist AfD became the second strongest party in the federal elections in February 2025. Many people in Germany see this development as a threat to the country and its fundamental rights.
This is why there has long been a political debate about the extent to which the AfD is damaging democracy. Various projects and initiatives therefore want to help promote democracy in society as a whole.
One of these ideas is the KonterBUNT app for children and young people.
You can download a reading text with worksheets, solutions and useful handouts for teachers. You will also find instructions on how to carry out the “Democracy Café” role play with your teachers in the classroom.
