The 16th Department/Ministry has a divided task –
on one hand it is INFORMATION, on the other hand it is about DISCOVERY.
Information
The ministry informs its public/audience on political systems, which are the big political ideologies and other (basic) stuff that might be important too know something about.
Pieces that would work as information:
100 Stemmer /100 votes – voices
The publication shows how a group of people think when they try to make up their mind in how to vote politically.
Videocast
Short videorecorded movies where I interview an expert that explaines the big ideologies by using images and symbols. Everything will be filmed from above and only hands, the surface of a table and the images and symbols will be visible.
Animation
An animation that shows the main characters/thinkers in political history.
Discovery
The other part of the Ministry will take care of, and help you discover you personal political standpoints. Tools for discovery:
Political Confession
A priest-like (but not a priest) will listen to your most hidden political secrets. For example: in you circle of friends everybody are voting for a right wing party, everybody believes that you vote like them but actually you have been voting for the Green Party in tha last five elections.
Political Therapy
You can book an hour of political therapy with a psychologist/therapist.
