We love Citizenship Education!

Such an important, valuable subject for schools to teach.

But many schools don’t make the jump from citizenship education, to the opportunities for learning and experiencing democracy and participation through pupil voice and a school council. We want all young people to find their voice, that’s why we set up our charity to help schools!

Our 450+ member schools involve every pupil in a weekly, pupil-led debate helping them to develop their understanding of the world, discussion skills and oracy. It’s a new way to run a fully inclusive, easy to run school council that supports every voice to be head.
