First steps into democracy: Northern Ireland

This programme is a collection of online, interactive worksheets designed to introduce primary school learners to democracy, decision-making and political institutions in Northern Ireland. All of the worksheets are hosted on Just2Easy, a website accessible to all teachers and students in Northern Ireland through C2k.

The programme aims to develop Northern Irish primary school learners' understanding of Stormont and their ability to express their views, consider the views of others, and think about how decisions are made.

It includes resources that support learners to discuss their values and preferences, learn about voting, and to explore political representation, whether at the level of their school council or at Stormont. Some resources available in Irish.
