About The Politics Project

The Politics Project specialises in youth democratic education because we believe that everyone should be able to use their voice. We deliver workshops to young people and train educators using a variety of dynamic techniques, resources and events to increase the capacity of schools to deliver an outstanding education. Since being established in January 2015, we have transitioned from being a regional Greater Manchester organisation to one that operates across the UK. We play an active role in national networks such as being a founding member of the APPG on Political Literacy and on the Steering Group of the Democracy Network. To date, we have connected schools with local, national and regional politicians across the UK including Angela Rayner MP, Tim Farron MP, Baroness Morgan of Cotes and Mayor Andy Burnham. Our Digital Surgeries and Digital Dialogue: Wales programmes use video conferencing calls to connect young people and politicians, enabling them to have meaningful conversations about issues that matter to them. We run Democracy Classroom, bringing together democratic organisations and sharing non-partisan resources for teachers to support young people to engage in elections.
