UK Parliament Week

I was delighted to receive the Certificate of Achievement from the Education Service. It was awarded because 17 U.K. Parliament Week activities took place in Walsall South . This placed us in joint 25th place of 650 constituencies. This is brilliant news for Walsall South .

Taking part in Parliament Week activities is a great way to learn about the democratic process.

This year Parliament Week will run from 1 – 7 November 2020. When you sign up, You will get a free kit packed with goodies including an activity booklet, bunting, a ballot box, stickers, and more. You can pick and choose from the options in the booklet to tailor your UK Parliament Week activity to suit your school.

Last year over 1.2 million people took part in UK Parliament Week, in every nation and region of the UK, and countries all over the world. Here are a few ideas for all ages to get you started:

Q&A sessions, quizzes and lively debates
