Campaign Planning – 2024/25

See our YPP highlights of the 12th February where our YPP delegates spent time planning their social action campaigns and practiced their presentations!

Meet your MP – 2024/25

The YPP Delegates were given the opportunity to meet their local MP Ayoub Khan (the Independent MP for Birmingham Perry Barr) for a Q & A session. Each school delegation is given the opportunity to ask the MP a question that they think is important to them. This year they asked some really tough questions and Ayoub met the challenge and responded fully and honestly to every question asked of him.

- debate practice and discussions on what makes a good MP!

Our Young Peoples Parliament is our core annual project that is open to all our member schools. We work with over 100 young people every year over three school terms to provide knowledge, skills and opportunities to participate in local decision making. The exciting programme includes meeting with MPs, local elected members, decision makers in other public services and with local community leaders.

Each participant works in a team with other children and young people from their school with support from a mentor/teacher and the HAOS team to plan and deliver a social education/action project relevant to the local neighbourhood of the group members.
