The Democracy Box Creative Cascade Schools Programme© can equip and prepare teachers to replicate the Democracy Box young co-creator process with students aged 7 to 16 in all secondary and primary schools and non-formal education settings. The programme enables teachers and students to creatively re-tell and cascade The Democracy Box Story in multiple ways, developing democratic awareness, understanding and participation among school children and educators in Wales. Each year students will learn the story in more detail and re-tell it and cascade it to the year below them using progressively more complex creative skills, mediums and techniques year on year. The programme creates the foundation for learners to begin to develop an understanding of their responsibilities as citizens of the UK and to recognise their own and others' civil rights.
