What is the Democracy Box?

The Democracy Box is not about elections. It is not about party politics. The Democracy Box, just like democracy itself, is not simply about voting. If we live in a true democracy then surely everyone in the country needs to know and understand the basics of how that democracy works. In this episode Yvonne Murphy outlines The Democracy Box project’s vision and aims and we hear from four young guests about why we need to find new ways to intrigue and inspire people to play a part in, and shape the future of, our UK democracy. Lauren & Alex talk about their experience as young co-creators on the project which lead to this podcast series and Ieuan and Nirushan talk about why, as Youth Cymru Peer Leaders, they are supporting the project and their work on the ‘Power of your Vote’ and their own podcast series called YouthPod.

Getting Heard: Engaging with decision-makers online

In this free training for educators (primary and secondary) we will explore who holds ‘the power’ locally, and nationally, including political and financial decision-makers, and other influential people such as the media and religious and community leaders.

We’ll look at what it is they can, and should, be doing to help community projects such as yours, where they are located, and how best to make contact.

Section 1: Who are the decision-makers?

Section 2: Political power – navigating the right path

Section 3: Financial power – money, money, money

Section 4: Decision-makers with social (or community) power

Section 5: Communicating with empathy

Section 6: Making the most of the moment

Section 7: Additional support and guidance

Along the way we’ll give you lots of tools and tips on how to approach people in power, activities to help your children and young people identify who’s best placed to support them, and case studies from other groups who have engaged with local decision-makers to make change in their community.
