Headless CMS For Civic-Education
For the Parliament's Education Centre, not the Parliament itself: one place that holds its youth programs, learning materials and applications, with interactive content that makes civic education something children actually want to do.

Project
The Education Centre of the Parliament of Montenegro exists to open the Parliament to the public, with a particular focus on young people. It runs civic-education programs, manages the parliamentary internship program and prepares the Parliament's publications. Its two programs for children and youth are the Democracy Workshops “Barbara Pramer” for primary school children aged 8 to 15 and the Simulation of the Work of Parliament for high school students.
We built the Education Centre's website: a public platform that promotes these programs, opens up their materials and products and makes it simple for students, parents and teachers to find them, learn from them and apply to them, anytime and anywhere.
The challenge
The Centre's mission is to open the Parliament to the public, above all to young people. But civic education only works if young people can reach it and want to engage with it. The Centre's programs, materials and publications needed a single public home: one that made applying to a program simple, gave parents and teachers the materials to support learning and used interactive content to make the workings of Parliament genuinely interesting to an eight-year-old, not just available to them.
Programs and applications
Every program, explained and open to apply for.
The two programs, the Democracy Workshops “Barbara Pramer” for ages 8 to 15 and the Simulation of the Work of Parliament for high school students, each have a clear home on the site, with everything a student, parent or teacher needs to understand them. Applying to take part happens on the site, and so does communication with school representatives and students, so the path from interest to participation runs in one place.
Interactive learning for children
Learning about democracy that children actually want to do.
Interactive content turns the topics taught in the programs into something engaging rather than dry. It is built to hold a child's attention and raise their interest and motivation, so young students come away curious about how their Parliament works, not just informed that it exists.
Resources for parents and teachers
The materials parents and teachers need, gathered in one library.
Parents and teachers get the educational materials and program products that support children's learning, available anytime and anywhere. The people guiding young learners no longer have to chase materials down; they are all on the site, ready to use.
The Parliament, made legible to an eight-year-old.
Publications library
The Parliament's publications, public and easy to find.
The Centre's publications sit together and open to the public: the annual performance report of the Parliament, the monthly “Open Parliament” newsletter, brochures and other educational and informative materials. Openness is the mission, and a public, findable publications library is part of delivering it.
Design and UX
Official enough for Parliament. Approachable enough for a child.
The site had to carry the authority of a national parliament and still feel welcoming to an eight-year-old. We designed it to hold both: a clear, credible structure for parents, teachers and older students, and interactive, visual content that makes democracy something a young child wants to explore. The design turns a serious institution into an inviting place to learn.
