Aware of the fact that young people through primary and secondary school do not acquire sufficient knowledge about democratic institutions and values, their rights and responsibilities, and that they are often not ready or motivated to be active and responsible citizens; as well as that due to numerous scandals, quarrels and corruption that are present on our public and political scene, they develop apathy, acquire a negative image of basic democratic institutions and processes and do not want to participate in them - we tried to animate them in a different way, through fun and socializing, through a board game, called - Partocracy.

The goal was to show how democratic institutions function, what the election process looks like and why it is important to participate in it, what are the differences between existing political ideologies and what should be kept in mind when deciding when to vote. Also, the goal was to point out in a satirical way the main shortcomings and negative phenomena in the field of functioning of institutions, citizens' rights, media freedoms and activities of political parties in the country.

During the creation process, there was a large number of young people from Zajecar who liked the idea and wanted to participate in the testing of the game. After the game appeared at the ceremonial promotion, almost all social game clubs from the territory of Serbia expressed their desire to have a copy of the game. During the promotional period alone, over 200 young people played Partocracy.
