Young People, Citizenship and Democracy Education

Join us for an insightful online webinar where new academic research sheds light on the powerful role of Citizenship education in boosting political understanding and engagement among young people. This timely discussion explores how studying GCSE Citizenship Studies can help address inequalities in democratic participation — especially for young women, those from racialised minority backgrounds, and students from less advantaged socio-economic groups.
The event will be hosted by Eddie Playfair, Senior Policy Manager at the Association of Colleges, and will feature findings from a new national study conducted by Professor Matt Henn (Nottingham Trent University), Professor James Sloam (Royal Holloway, University of London), and Dr Ana Nunes (Nottingham Trent University).
