From school participatory budgeting to a youth-led municipal participatory budgeting: the case of Kutna Hora, Czech Republic

Ekaterina Petrikevich

Chapter 11 in Educating for Democracy, 2024, pp 195-210 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In this chapter, Ekaterina Petrikevich discusses the expansion of Czech-Slovak School PB processes to a youth-led City PB process. She begins by chronicling the social and political context that served as a springboard for the expansion, followed by a description of the Czech-Slovak School PB methodology, the roles of the different actors, and the innovations that led to the development of active citizenship among participants. Moreover, Petrikevich compares the civic competencies promoted by different participatory processes like Primary School PB, High School PB, School Parliament, Youth-Led City PB, and City Youth Parliament. The skills gained by children and youth range from deliberation, public speaking, and presentation to campaigning, facilitation, leadership, project management and advocacy, among others. Petrikevich concludes by explaining how cyclical implementation and continuous innovative designs have contributed to fostering trust and receptivity in scaling School PB to youth-led City PB.
