Digital Dialogue: Wales aims to support young people to gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to engage in the democratic process.
Supported by the Welsh Government, Digital Dialogue: Wales helps young people to engage with the politicians that represent them - Local Councillors, Members of the Senedd and Members of Parliament. The programme facilitates meaningful and informed conversations between young people and politicians via video conferencing, building relationships between young people and their elected representatives.
Teachers are provided with support, training and learning resources to help prepare their learners for the Dialogue session. Digital Dialogue: Wales takes four teaching hours to deliver, with three hours dedicated to workshops and one hour to deliver a Digital Dialogue. It supports one of the four purposes of the Curriculum for Wales - to support learners to become ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world.
100% of teachers and politicians who took part in Digital Dialogue: Wales pilot want to do so again and would actively recommend it to colleagues.
