Abstract
The majority of German state parliaments offer simulation games for adolescents . These events are designed to teach young people about the processes of intra-parliamentary will formation and decision-making . This article presents a survey of the simulation games cur- rently offered by state parliaments . The analysis is structured by content and organizational criteria . All simulation games focus on the legislative function of parliament . Other parlia- mentary functions are only addressed on the side or not at all . Furthermore, two thirds of the simulation games are designed for school classes . They usually last a maximum of one day and are offered several times a year up to several times a week . In contrast, four parlia- ments offer simulation games for individuals, which take several days and are carried out much less frequently than the programs for school classes . In addition to the general over- view, detailed insights are provided into the event “Youth in Parliament”, which is organ- ized by the parliament of the Hamburg city-state .
