What we do Goal 2 - providing authentic experiences of being an active citizen Among many other initiatives we will: Extend the reach of our Mock Trials, where young people take on the various roles of barristers, clerks, witnesses, jurors – with the support of legal professionals – in real court rooms Develop our social action programmes where pupils decide together which issues they care most about and want to take action on – whether that’s local, national, or global Give young people a voice in deciding the priorities for the Brexit negotiations Create more opportunities for young people to engage in democratic politics – even if they are not yet old enough to vote Help young people prepare for work life, when secure long-term jobs are declining, by developing negotiation and teamwork skills Enable young people to experience and express views on economic policies Partner with other organisations, including the National Citizens Service (NCS) to create more opportunities for young people to be active citizens – in whatever form that takes.
