The Student's Budget is a project where students themselves decide on how to spend part of their school’s participatory budget (PB). They learn to think about their community, they are given a chance to contribute to the development of their city and their school, and they practice communication skills and learn how to manage funds responsibly.
Students gain practical knowledge and skills for how to be engaged citizens
Teachers engage students in productive activities and enhance trust-based communication
The school gains a stronger student community, detailed insight into the opinions and thoughts of students
Children were happy to make decisions and showed their interest in school and it's life.

To make it easier to organize a Student's Budget at your school, we’ve developed an application that will lead you through the whole process. It will provide instructions and materials, will help organize voting, and will automatically calculate the results.
Here the main emphasis is placed on project preparation and processing – the search for opportunities, proposing the best solution, and public presentation. Students will try these skills out in practice and thereby remember and learn them for use in their future life and work.
The most important thing here is that students undergo the whole process personally, so that they understand that their active involvement can transform their school’s environment. Thus a strong emphasis is placed on the implementation of the winning projects.
We’ll prepare the questionnaires for you and lay down the rules for a
well-run survey.
We’ll advice you on information campaign to help you involve as many citizens in your survey as possible.
We’ll provide you with clearly presented results for your survey or vote.
We’ll propose an procedure tailored to your requirements, experience, and population size.
