Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Organisation and administration - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, University of Potsdam, course: English- Unicert III/I, language: English, abstract: The Participation of children and young people begins in there families. The first opportunity for children to participate is for example to make there own decisions or their freedom of expression. Other possibilities to partake are in nurseries, schools, at work, at university or in politics, economics or free organisations et cetera. In this essay, I shall analyse the opportunities to participate at the political level. Needless to say, there are high chances to partake in school, because children and young people spend a lot of time there. At first, we have to clarify, what is participation? Raingard Knauer and Benedict Sturzenhecker defined the term as follows: Participation is understood as the right to freedom, equality and public participation ofthe citizen to partake in public discussion and decision-making of the society, state and institution, in an institutionalized or open form.
