Stuart Anderson MP is inviting everyone in Wolverhampton South West to get involved in UK Parliament Week and to join a UK-wide conversation about democracy and participation.
UK Parliament Week is an annual festival that is organised by the UK Parliament. It takes place from the 1st to the 7th of November 2020. Led by UK Parliament Education and Engagement Team, it seeks to inform and educate all citizens about the work and role of the UK Parliament. It aims to engage people from across the UK with Parliament, explores what it means to them, and empowers them to get involved.
This year marks ten years of UK Parliament Week. It is a great opportunity to be part of a thriving democracy and look ahead to the next 10 years, thinking about what issues are important to you and how you can work with UK Parliament to bring about change. Community groups, local organisations, and schools representing every constituency across the United Kingdom have already signed up to be part of the conversation.
Last year, over 1.2 million people took part in UK Parliament week in every nation and region of the UK, alongside countries all over the world.
Stuart Anderson MP said: “I would like to thank every organisation that has so far registered to take part in the UK Parliament Week. Due to the situation regarding Covid-19, I understand that Parliament Week this year might be slightly different. If any constituents or constituent groups would like any support or assistance in making preparations for Parliament Week, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. My team and I are happy to help."
David Clark, Head of Education and Engagement at UK Parliament, said: “There are many exciting activities taking place for this year’s UK Parliament Week, including those happening in Wolverhampton South West. Organisations, local community groups and schools across Wolverhampton South West have a chance to get empowered and have their say on issues they care about the most. Change starts with you and UK Parliament Week is a great way to learn how you can make a difference.”
Last year, over 1.2 million people took part in UK Parliament week in every nation and region of the UK, alongside countries all over the world.
Those who sign up for UK Parliament Week will be sent a free kit packed with resources, including a booklet, bunting, a ballot box, a poster, stickers and more, which can be tailored for different organisations.
