Young Citizens

PR support at upcoming event with Alastair Campbell

On 19th November, Young Citizens is running The Big Democracy Conversation, a panel discussion with Alastair Campbell and our young ambassadors to launch a new national teaching campaign. The evening will focus on how we action the support schools need to deliver democratic education, centred on civic skills and literacies that build confidence to engage. We will hear from young people on how they see their stake in society, institutional trust and what they need to feel confident to participate in democracy and elections.

Charity Details

Young Citizens is a UK charity that enables schools and colleges to deliver interactive citizenship education for children and young people.

Established in 1989 by Lord Phillips OBE and a group of democracy education experts, we believe citizenship should play a part in every young person’s education before leaving school to help them thrive in and contribute to society today.

From ready-made lesson plans to immersive programmes, we help you offer engaging yet flexible learning experiences – both as part of the required curriculum and beyond.

Working with a huge network of schools and partners, we deliver learning experiences that light the spark of active citizenship from an early age.

We want to empower children and young people to shape their communities, institutions and society, building skills and knowledge for life.
