Why the award najGLASni?
Democracy, democratic values and awareness of civic engagement are practiced from a young age. High schools and student communities are an excellent opportunity to build young people who are aware, informed and have the confidence to propose solutions and feel included.
Unfortunately, the situation with high school students and their participation is completely reversed. According to the latest research by the Youth Education Forum, 1 out of 3 high school students believe that they cannot change anything in their communities. More than half of high school students keep their opinions to themselves during class. 86.1% of high school students believe that they did not have subjects that would inform them about important social topics and developments. According to the latest survey by LEAD and KAS, 22% of teachers influenced the choice of student representatives.
With the award for the loudest! we want to make our contribution to increased democratization in schools and to present successful examples and practices of involvement in decision-making in secondary schools.
