Classroom Heroes - Growing Through Democracy

What if your classroom became a mini-democratic society where every child finds their place and voice? This is the adventure we propose with our classroom committee project.

Through elections, debates, and collective decision-making, Cycle 3 children concretely discover democratic values. Each student can run for a role matching their talents: listening delegate, nature-protecting ecological agent, peace-building mediator, creativity-promoting artistic agent...

Benefits of this approach:

• Develop critical thinking and argumentation skills
• Learn to listen, debate, and respect differing opinions
• Take on responsibilities suited to one's strengths
• Understand that democracy begins in daily life

It's not just a civic exercise — it's a profound transformation. Children who actively participate in classroom decisions become engaged citizens capable of contributing positively to their community.

They learn their voice matters, their actions have impact, and change begins with them.

Democracy isn't something taught only in books — it's something lived together, day after day, decision after decision.
