The Politics Project
The Politics Project supports young people to explore, understand and take part in democracy. Since 2015, we’ve worked with teachers, youth practitioners and politicians to make democratic education accessible, non-partisan and engaging.
Through our programmes and the Democracy Classroom network, we offer free resources, training and activities to help young people build confidence, ask questions, and find their voice in democratic life.
Once you complete this training, you can join a growing network of practitioners across the UK. If you need support at any stage, just get in touch at info@thepoliticsproject.org.uk – we’re here to help. If you’d like to hear about new resources, training, and opportunities as they launch, sign up to our mailing list here.
