[Rebecca M J Baker @RMJBaker]

#PoliticalLiteracy for young people, directed by their voices for a sustainable democratic future, has never been more important. One of the many reasons I'm thrilled to be part of the AAG for the @PolLitAPPG & to attend today's 2nd meeting! #YouthPolitics #CitizenshipEducation

[APPG on Political and Media Literacy @PMLAPPG]

"Young people are engaged with a variety of issues [...] we need to give them the tools with which they can engage."

One brilliant quote among many from @IainMcNicol!

[APPG on Political and Media Literacy @PMLAPPG]

"What's really interesting is just how remarkable these students are. They're already making those connections [...] and we have a part to play there"

@simonfell on how much young people already care about politics, & how govt should give them the tools to help engage further.

[APPG on Political and Media Literacy @PMLAPPG]

"Because I am politically literate, I feel like I can influence decisions & affect our future [...] It is vital that all young people get the same opportunities."

17-year-old Gabriel Daudy on how #PoliticalLiteracy has empowered him to feel capable of making a difference 💪

[Dr James Weinberg @JamesWeinberg1]

Really engaging and constructive panel debate to finish the latest @PolLitAPPG meeting. Qu's about school delivery & buy-in, subject content, teacher training, political contact, & policy learning & practice.

Thanks to the panellists & everyone in the audience who participated.

[APPG on Political and Media Literacy @PMLAPPG]

The 2nd meeting of the APPG on #PoliticalLiteracy is complete!

Thanks to all who participated, particularly our Chairs @IainMcNicol and @simonfell.

We will stop at nothing to give ALL young people the tools to participate in our democracy!
