In this project that took place during four full sessions, the students were introduced the theoretical framework about the electoral system and then, in a guided role play they performed several role-plays with the different phases in an electoral system within a democratic society and, also, they learnt about rigged elections, in a fake democracy/dictatorship. The results were amazing. The students understood the concepts and the theoretical framework and they managed to act out brilliantly all the proposed settings and situations. We all had great fun!
