TASKs for democracy

Tips and potential difficulties
1. Check the links to the videos and/or bring enough copies of the experts’ texts.

(e.g. six people at a roundtable: a “lawyer”, a “psychologist”, a “policewoman” and three or four teachers
being themselves. Depending on the number of your participants, repeat the same set-up at the next
roundtable).
