The Municipality Package<\/h1>\n

Being mayor is not a game! Mayority provides children and teenagers with the chance to explore the responsibilities associated with this important role, and with the challenges of leading a municipality.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with students from the Centre for Applied Games Studies at the University for Continuing Education Krems (Austria), we have developed two packages focused on political work within a municipality.<\/p>\n

The serious game Mayority shows players how challenging it is to organise life within a community in a way that ensures everyone’s happiness. Mayority not only leads to impressive learning outcomes but is also a lot of fun to play.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Mayority is well-suited for teachers with limited experience of integrating games into the classroom, thanks to its accessible and user-friendly approach.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Mayority, the professionally guided discussions, as well as the concluding roundtable with the mayor and youth council, made a valuable contribution to political education. The pupils were able to gain many insights into the intricacies of societal decision-making processes and their consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n
