An early cast: Democracy lessons through mock elections for children

To ensure your kids are well versed with the basics of the electoral process and political hierarchy of India, sign them up for My First Vote, a workshop that teaches kids just that through a mock election and more on-the-spot activities. The participants will make their own voter cards, campaign, and vote through ballot papers.

The session, meant for kids between four and 10 years of age, has been organised by Science Splash, the brainchild of Deepali Dhedia, a clinical nutritionist, and Bijal Patel, a childcare specialist. "Kids will understand how voting works through an interactive session like this much better than reading about it in books," says Dhedia.
