Citizenship Workshops

An inspiring corporate volunteering opportunity

Join us as a leader in shaping the leaders and citizens of tomorrow. This engaging volunteering opportunity is a great way for your business to build links with the community and for professionals to support young people by using their skills in the law, media, tech, economics and policy to bring learning to life.

Our Workshops are designed to be interactive and hugely enjoyable for all participants. The students and their teachers state that taking part in the workshops increases young people’s knowledge, helps them to gain key skills, like debating and team working skills, as well as raising their aspirations.

What do they look like?
These are standalone 2-3 hour sessions where young people join you at your offices or you in their school to take part in an interactive, skills-building workshop.

• Legal Workshops – examine topical areas of the law, ranging from Human Rights to the laws surrounding Social Media.
• Economics Workshops – help young people understand how taxes, budgets and wider society is affected by the economy
• Media Workshops – work through how media affects society today, including mis/disinformation on social media, algorithms and key digital skills

What does it include?
These are facilitated by our team, include volunteer training and expertly crafted packs designed for all level of professionals. Subjects are made relevant to everyday life, and a discursive approach to work through key issues facing society today.

96% of students stated that taking part in the programme increased their knowledge of the law.
