Facts About The Workshops

We've asked 109 students so far in year 9 questions about politics and their experience throughout the workshops that was carried out in their schools .Below we have highlighted the three main questions that created the biggest response   

Did you you feel positive about politics before the workshop?

98 out of the 109 students didn’t see politics in a positive light before the workshops. Many described politics before as “Boring”, “long” and even “Dead”.

Do you think you have learnt more about politics after the workshop?

101 students felt that they have learnt more about politics after the workshop. This is in stark contrast to the large amount of students that didn’t see politics in a positive light before the workshops.

One student stated “I have learnt more about politics because I was taught in a fun way whilst learning at the same time.”

After the workshop do you think you are more likely to vote?

97 of students asked said that they are more likely to vote when they are of age, due to the workshop. This is very rewarding as it shows that we have made a difference and proved that politics can be fun.
