The learning coloring book "Versteh Mal. The town hall" can be ordered now

The brochure is aimed at children in 3rd and 4th grade and can be ordered free of charge. With lots of pictures, coloring and puzzles, it explains local politics in Jena on 24 pages.

Understanding democracy begins at an early age. Often only a few children know about local politics and the work of the city administration, although there are many points of contact with their lives. This educational coloring book makes a small contribution to explaining democracy in a child-friendly way and making local political topics and structures tangible.

The following questions are addressed in the booklet:

• What is the role and responsibilities of the Lord Mayor?
• How does the city council work and how is it elected?
• What offices and authorities are there in the town hall?
• Why do you have to pay taxes and what is the money used for?
• How do elections work and how does democracy work?
