If the children of Melbourne joined together and made their own country – what would it be like?

The Children’s Republic of Melbourne starts from exactly that idea. What rules would there be? What values are important?

Immerse yourself in a world of politics, ethics, and amateur law-making – and literally stitch together the start of this new country with your own hands. What is more important: Unlimited Pizza or Equality for all? Help decide the laws of Melbourne’s first micro-state, and design its national flag, constitution and coat of arms. What symbols represent your idea of what a country should be?

(On the last day – see 14th JAN – everyone is invited back to parade their flags and banners through the streets of Melbourne and present the constitution to the public. Will kids make better rules than adults?)
