About

Students will explore the work of different local, national and global campaigners and be empowered to contribute and challenge decision makers in Wales. They will consider the meaning of democracy, activism and what it means to be an active citizen. Learners will also have an opportunity to consider their own possible high impact campaign ideas to highlight or tackle a cause that is meaningful to them. 

Students will also have the opportunity to debate and role play in the original debating chamber, Siambr Hywel.
