The Max Planck High School in Böblingen is launching the “Plancktopia” project, in which students are developing a fictional form of government.
SENSATION in Böblingen: Students found their own state in the Plancktopia” project!
In an overwhelming turn of events, the Max Planck High School in Böblingen transforms its students into politicians, entrepreneurs and civil servants! The indeed innovative project “Plancktopia” will take shape on July 25th and 26th, 2025 by transforming the school into a *fictitious state* for four almost magical days! This groundbreaking initiative will not only *shock* but also *excite*! Stuttgarter Nachrichten reports that around 900 students are embarking on an adventure that has never happened before has.
What does it actually mean to be a citizen? To experience this first hand, students, together with their teachers, will act as *citizens, employees and employers*. *INCREDIBLE*! This unique experience takes learning to a whole new level as students will even develop their own constitution and entire political system! Max-Planck-Gymnasium explains that this remarkable experience occurs while everyone is working together as part of a seminar course, controlled by the high school graduates of the class of 2026.
The creation of a new state
In a shocking election campaign, students are using the power of social media for political communication! This *sensational* development shows how modern politics lessons are at the Max Planck High School. Organized as a *parliamentary monarchy*, the student body will elect four parties to compete for power. The students start companies and even create their own financial system! What a *breathtaking* perspective on economic activity!
But that's not all! Participants will also have to feel the *emotional* challenges of government. Necessary state services such as police and courts must be staffed, and students will experience first-hand how a state money cycle works. You will not only hear terms like “inflation” but actively *experience* them! What an *exciting* way to gain practical knowledge!
A celebration for young and old
On the last day there is a grand celebration with music and culinary delicacies such as juicy burgers and sweet waffles! Guests are warmly invited to immerse themselves in this *creative mini-nation*. It is claimed that the supporting program will be unforgettable for everyone - from children to adults. A feast for the senses that you *absolutely* have to experience! And project manager Timo Schimpke? He emphasizes the need for social skills when dealing with all these exciting guest visitors. How *captivating*!
But the exciting engagement doesn't end there! To take part in this incredible project, the Max Planck High School relies on funding provided by various institutions, from the *Doris Wuppermann Foundation* to EU programs. The commitment to political education and the strengthening of democracy is being advanced here in an impressive way! bpb
Get ready for this unforgettable educational adventure that will not only impart valuable skills to students but also shape them as active citizens. The shock and sensation of the “Plancktopia” project is undeniable – and everyone should take the chance to be part of it!
