Celebrating Constitution Day

"Be a Member of Parliament in a Constitution Day"

What is the Program?

It’s the simulation of the provincial assembly. The concept is to provide the idea on ‘how the provincial assembly functions’ in an interactive and informative manner. From understanding the fundamentals of federalism to the decision/policy making process, the participants will be acquainted with the proceedings of the provincial assembly.

So the question ‘How it is a Simulation?’ Here, the participants will role-play as a member of provincial assembly. They will represent certain constituencies, minority groups, experts, as representation through nomination as well as election. We will set certain members as elected members from constituencies as well as through nominations as per the provision of the province assembly.

We aim to:

- Provide platform for youths to experience policy-making, social dialogues and debates
- Help students build strategic communication skills, public speaking skills, problem solving skills through dialogues and discussions
- Facilitate the meaningful connections among the youths and stakeholders (members of parliament, policy makers, policy analysts)
- Integrate this program in the extracurricular activities of schools/colleges

How is it mapped out to achieve the goals?

- Conduct preparatory workshop on the structure and functions of the provincial assembly (PS: Province is the right word, we often mistook it with ‘state’)
- Conduct mock session about the state assembly (congratulations!, you found it, the correct word is ‘province’)
- Select the best performing participants and organize model provincial assembly
- Awards to encourage the best performing participants
- Publish articles about the proceedings and the role of youths in the state assembly
- Facilitate the participants to share the learning at their colleges to other students
