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 currently offered by state parliaments. The analysis is structured by content and organizational criteria. All simulation games focus on the legislative function of parliament. Other parliamentary 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 parliaments 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 overview, detailed insights are provided into the event “Youth in Parliament”, which is organized by the parliament of the Hamburg city-state .
