Take action to tell MP's about Citizenship education
01 September 2010
We believe that education about rights and responsibilities, the law and democracy should be fundamental elements in every young person’s education and in the coming months will be asking all political parties to commit to keeping citizenship education in the curriculum, no matter what kind of reform happens in the future.
We want to show politicians that teachers really care about citizenship and that it can make a positive difference in young people’s lives and in schools.
You can do two things to help us with this.
1. Write to your MP and tell them about Citizenship education in your intstitution-explain how it is the only entitlement that young people have to gain political and legal understanding and that Citizenship education is all about the 3 C's of Citizenship education-the importance of the curriculum, the culture of the school and the partnership with the community. You can find out how to contact your MP via this list of MPs
2. Add your name to our growing list of supporters at www.democraticlife.org.uk and help us make the case for citizenship!
