Lublin: School Participatory Budgets

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

The School Participatory Budget (also known as the School Participatory Budget) is a process in which the school community decides how to allocate a portion of the school budget. Students, as well as parents, teachers, and other school staff, submit ideas, create projects, and then select those they believe are most compelling and necessary. SBO provides a dose of knowledge about school finances, an extraordinary lesson in Social Studies, a lesson in entrepreneurship, and most importantly, everything takes place in practice, not behind a desk as is usually the case. Students who participate in school decision-making identify more deeply with the school space and feel a sense of shared responsibility for it. They are proud of the results in the form of completed projects. After interviewing members of school working groups that worked on previous editions of the SPB, in Lublin, we also noted that the participatory budget is an excellent tool for integration. 

Importantly, the School Participatory Budget is designed not only for those who are always active, often take initiative, serve in student government, or have exemplary academic results. The  School Participatory Budget aims to demonstrate the value of action, stepping outside their comfort zone to do something important in a given place and at a given moment. As it turns out, every participant in the process can be surprised – by the commitment of those usually withdrawn, the openness of others to action, a shift in attitude or a doubtful belief in agency. Such experiences pay off in the future, leading to taking on further challenges, such as participating in the citywide Participatory Budget and changing the environment in their own street, neighborhood, or city.
