Democracy Decoded: Adult's resource
What it is and how to use it
Democracy Decoded is a political education toolkit developed by young people from Youthforia (YOFO), Youth Focus North West's regional youth voice network.
Designed for educators and youth practitioners working with young people aged 13–16, the toolkit contains four adaptable session plans exploring democracy, local and regional government, political participation, and media literacy.
Activities encourage young people to explore how political decisions affect their lives, understand their rights, identify local decision-makers and consider how they can make their voices heard.
The toolkit includes session guidance, activity resources and additional information to support delivery in schools, youth groups and other educational settings. The sessions take approximately four hours to deliver.
