Peter Gibson, MP for Darlington is encouraging young people, community organisations and schools across Darlington to sign up for UK Parliament Week which will take place between 1-7 November 2021.
UK Parliament Week is a celebration of people power. Anyone who signs up will get a kit that contains information about the UK Parliament, and how to take action and make an impact on the issues you care about.
The kits will be posted free of charge and are packed with goodies including an activity booklet, a ballot box, some seeds to plant, and more. Last year almost 1 million people took part in every nation and region of the UK, and countries all over the world, including over 800,000 school children. 97% of teachers taking part said that UKPW helped them reach curriculum aims.
Peter Gibson MP, Said “UK Parliament Week is an excellent opportunity to engage with young people and share information about their Parliament. It’s a great tool to explore the role of Parliament and promotes involvement on the issues they care about.”
It’s quick and easy to sign up online and you can access more online resources and information at www.ukparliamentweek.org/en/sign-up/
