Democracy Week competition launch at local school
To mark democracy week and help kick start discussions in local schools about politics, Lynne Featherstone MP launched her mini-writing competition at Alexandra Park School last week.
The Hornsey and Wood Green MP helped students in a year 7 class brain storm on the essay topic ‘what I would do if I ruled the world for a day’. Lynne has invited students from all local secondary schools to join in, and the winner will get the chance to see first hand what politics is about by shadowing Lynne for a day in Parliament.
Lynne Featherstone MP comments:
“The idea behind having a democracy competition was to help local schools debate issues around local and global problems and the role politics plays in dealing with them.
“Every time I have the privilege to meet students in local schools and hear their thoughts on issues, I am amazed by the insight and thoughtfulness of their comments- and today was certainly no exception.
“Hopefully I’ll receive entries from across the constituency- I’m getting ready for some serious food for thought!”
