Should Children Have the Right to Vote? Reflections from the ACE Summit in Paris  Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the #ACESummit hosted by Center for Curriculum Redesign and BE Beyond Education in Paris by, where leaders from diverse fields of #education and #AI gathered to discuss the pressing challenges of our time. In one of the most thought-provoking panels François Taddei posed a bold and transformative question:  ➡️ What if we gave children the right to vote?  This idea might seem radical, but consider the historical arguments against women’s suffrage. For centuries, society believed that women lacked the capacity or knowledge to engage in politics—a notion we now reject as absurd. Today, children face similar misconceptions. But if children could vote, how would our democracy evolve?  ➡️  The Case for Youth Voting   - Changing Education and Curricula: If children had the right to vote, our education systems would need to adapt. Curricula and teacher training would shift to prioritise civic education, ensuring young people are informed and prepared to participate in democracy.   - Elevating Youth Voices: Young people are already advocating for causes like climate justice, social equality, and technological innovation. Their voices deserve representation in the systems that shape their futures.   - Intergenerational Power Sharing: Democracy thrives on diverse perspectives. Incorporating the worldview of younger generations through power-sharing enriches decision-making and builds a more inclusive society.  ➡️  A Call to Action for Education   To prepare children to be active participants in democracy, we need robust, science-backed education systems. Education should empower students to not only understand the complexities of the world but also to be the change they wish to see. 🌍 EDUCATE US SO WE GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING, HOW TO BE THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD. 🌎 Schools must evolve into spaces where students learn how to tackle global challenges and advocate for the futures they want. This aligns with the ethos of “Nothing for us without us”—ensuring that youth have a seat at the table.  Let’s rethink the structure of our democracy. By granting children the right to vote and integrating them into decision-making processes, we not only elevate their voices but also inspire intergenerational collaboration for a stronger, fairer world.  ARE WE READY FOR THIS BOLD STEP FORWARD?  #YouthEmpowerment #EducationForDemocracy #IntergenerationalLeadership #CivicEducation #FutureOfDemocracy #YouthVoice #InnovationInEducation Kathrin Röschel Charles Fadel Berlin Cosmopolitan School Berlin Cosmopolitan Natur e School gGmbH

LET'S TALK ABOUT... this time about the #UnitedStates after the presidential election and possible consequences for #Germany and our #transatlantic relations 🇩🇪❓🇺🇸 #Aeneas, editor of our student newspaper #TheCOSMOPOLITAN, interviewed the well-known journalist Sarah McCammon from NPR‼️ Sarah, who has been covering #TeamTrump since 2016, took us through the mission of nonprofit journalism to uncover facts, verify, share and explain developments and phenomena. Our students not only listened to Sarah McCammon, but literally cross-examined her in the AMA - #AskMeAnything format after she spoke to us about the U.S. election and its potential consequences, as well as her special topics of #reproductiverights and the intersection of religion and politics. Many thanks to Sarah McCammon of NPR, Lena Bühring of the Aspen Institute Germany, Aeneas for moderating, our student editors led by Forrest Holmes, and of course to all the smart and brave questioners among our Berlin Cosmopolitan School students.
