Online Workshop on the Class Council: Bringing Democracy to School Life
The BiConnected workshop The Class Council: Application of a Democracy-Promoting Tool will bring a central concept of democratic education directly to the screen on June 30, 2026, at 4:00 PM. The online event is aimed at elementary school and lower secondary school teachers, trainee teachers, and students who want to consciously, fairly, and effectively shape class processes.
What Makes the Workshop Special
The focus is on a practical event experience for everyday school life: How does reliable planning of time, space, and implementation succeed? What opportunities does the class council offer for a better class climate? And what are the challenging or disadvantageous aspects? The workshop will be led by Jan Breuer from the Steinhagen Gymnasium, who combines experience from school practice with a clear view of organizing democratic learning processes.
Who the Date is Relevant For
The format appeals to anyone involved in event planning in the classroom, conversation culture, negotiation processes, and participation concepts. Especially in the school context, the class council provides a strong basis for addressing target groups, participation, and a sustainable democratic learning culture.
Online, Free of Charge, and Fully Booked
The event takes place online@home and is, according to the event information, free of charge. At the same time, the workshop is already fully booked. However, anyone who is still working on this topic will receive valuable impulses for their own school practice and for future training around democratic education, class climate, and participation.
Conclusion: A Compact Training Format with Great Impact
This online workshop shows how a well-structured class council not only organizes discussion rounds but also strengthens attitude, responsibility, and participation. Those who take democratic education seriously in their teaching will find a technically sound event with immediate practical benefits.
