What We Do
Youth Parliament provides students with a unique opportunity to develop their skills in advocacy, their understanding of democratic processes and their knowledge of current social, political and economic issues.
Over the course of the week, participants will engage with educational workshops, speakers panels, problem-solving policy exercises and debates upon bills the students themselves have drafted!
