Welcome to Electionville

Welcome to Electionville (Bosnia and Herzegovina) 

Timespan: May-October, 2021

Donor: Embassy of Sweden in Bosnia and Herzegovina 

Applicant: Local Democracy Agency Mostar (LDA Mostar)

Partner: Insitut za razvoj mladih KULT

General Objective: to educate about and provide insights into how democracy works

Specific Objectives:

  • to increase awareness about democratic processes and its value
  • to encourage citizens participation
  • to encourage better communication between the citizens and local authorities 

Description:

Electionville is a fictional city in the shape of an educational floor game, where the participants take on the challenging roles of county council members. Equally fun and engaging, the main objective of the Electionville toolkit is to educate about and provide insights into how democracy works.

Originally designed as a board game by the Swedish content bureau Fabel and commissioned by the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions, Electionville has been produced in over 13,000 copies, reaching more than half of the primary and upper secondary schools in Sweden.

Primarily intended for people aged 15-24, the floor game version of Electionville can be played either individually or in groups. However, due to its versatility, the Electionville toolkit  is suitable for people of all ages and regardless of political affiliation. This makes Electionville the perfect tool for practicing core democratic values such as inclusiveness, participation, and gender equality. In fact, to engage in a game of Electionville is to engage in democracy.

Moderated group talks or seminars on related themes are held in conjunction with the game event with target group and specially invited  representatives from the local community
