Solutions
School participatory budgeting (PB) - is a participatory budget for elementary and secondary schools. Engage pupils and students in the decision-making process on investments from the school budget. Thanks to Pébéčko, they come with their own ideas and propose projects to improve the school environment and efficiently distribute the assigned part of the budget.
We implement school PB at elementary and secondary schools.
Solution for elementary schools
Students play an active role and, in an entertaining manner, can in fact influence the running of their school. Great emphasis is put on implementation of the winning projects. Pupils embrace basic principles of democratic society, learn responsibility, teamwork and financial literacy, and develop their creativity.

Solution for secondary schools
Students learn the foundations of design thinking: search for opportunities, proposal of the best solution and presentation in front of an audience. They develop their creativity and proactivity. They gain more confidence and the ability to reason. Their interest in society-wide issues increases and they tend to engage more in public life.
