Students delved into the fascinating world of democracy and elections. Through the 'Understanding Elections' activity, they went on a journey to grasp the core principles of democratic systems. The learning objectives were clear, to fathom the significance of elections in democratic societies, to dissect the pivotal role of political parties, and to understand the intricate art of political campaigning. To achieve these goals, a unique methodology was adopted. Blank slips were transformed into ballots, and two students emerged as aspiring candidates, representing distinct political parties. With passion and conviction, these young leaders crafted their election manifestos, showcasing their vision for the class. The classroom turned into a political arena as these candidates passionately campaigned for their parties, addressing their fellow students (the voters).
