Spielräume Demokratie
In the organizer's words:
Democracy is not for watching, but for participating - under this motto, the LVR Industrial Museum Gesenkschmiede Hendrichs invites visitors to the exhibition "Spielräume Demokratie" from January 24, 2025. In the Fabrikantenvilla, the former residence of the factory owners, visitors will encounter the democracy of today. They will learn a lot about the scope that democracy offers us to participate, shape and live together - in a very playful way.
We live in a democracy - of course!
In a world that is constantly changing and evolving, our democracy must also be promoted, nurtured and developed. Because not only history, but also the present day, shows us that it cannot be taken for granted. It is therefore necessary that people - especially young people - get to know and live the principles of democracy.
However, political participation does not have to be dry or even daunting; it starts with the smallest steps in everyday life and can be really fun.
The exhibition's play spaces
On the second floor of the Fabrikantenvilla, visitors can play their way through the basic principles of democratic coexistence in four rooms: How do compromises work? How do I form an opinion on world affairs? What rights and freedoms do I have? Where can I make an individual contribution? In a digital game, an escape game, a discussion game and a board game, visitors go in search of answers.
Groups of young people in particular, e.g. school classes, are invited to become active in the exhibition.
Playing along here means helping to shape the democratic spaces of today and tomorrow.
