Schools

Whether you hold a debate, watch a film screening or simply get talking about Parliament, politics and democracy, there are lots of ways to get involved in Parliament Week this year.

Plan for Parliament Week and beyond...

Fun Kids Radio explores Parliament

A radio and online resource designed to introduce KS2 students to the history and day-to-day activities within Parliament.

Create the Debate

With exclusive BBC Free Speech films and debate topics chosen by young people through the UK Youth Parliament, use this pack to hold inspiring, effective debates with your KS3, 4 or 5 classes.

Make a film

Get your primary or secondary students to enter the 'Lights, Camera, Parliament!' film making competition and take the role of Prime Minister for a day to tell Parliament what law they would make.

Invite an MP or Member of the Lords to visit your school and talk to students about their work. And if you’ve become passionate about a particular issue, check out ongoing e-petitions to see if there is one you can sign up to.

Host a film screening

Show students from KS1 - 5 one of the 12 films handpicked by FILMCLUB which explore stories of democracy from around the world.

Art House

Get creative with Art House, a new competition asking KS2 students to create artwork on the theme ‘Parliament and Me'.

Have you got a school council?

Have you got a school council? If not, why not start one up? If you are already running projects as a council, get your work recognised by the Speaker’s School Council Awards.

FILMCLUB at Westminster

As part of Parliament Week 2012, FILMCLUB sent a group of young reporters to find out all about democracy by talking to some very important MPs and Peers.
