Activity 15: Democracy for all?

Part of the Makutano Junction Activities for Secondary Students

Abstract

This activity encourages students to explore the notion of “democracy” and what it means. It invites students to think about where in the world democratic systems of government exist and where they are lacking and then asks students to examine their attitudes towards Africa and systems of Government there. The webpage for the activity includes a document giving notes for UK teachers on how to conduct the classroom activity, and links to streaming and downloadable video clips from Makutano Junction.
