Exploring DemocracyThis event is aimed at young people aged 16 - 25 in Swansea and will work as an introduction to democracy and political literacy.Despite the importance of democratic engagement in shaping the future of society, many young people feel disengaged and disempowered from the political process and lack the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively participate in it. This can have serious consequences for democracy and civic life. This event seeks to raise democratic awareness among young people in Swansea through a targeted workshop event, including open, non-judgemental discussion. By empowering young people with the knowledge and skills they need to engage in the political process, the Youth Empowerment Network (YEN) hopes to foster a more engaged and informed citizenry and create a stronger democracy for all. Do you feel excluded from decision making which effects you?Do you feel confused about how our democratic system works?Do you feel that your voice doesn&#x27;t matter? .﻿.. Then this is the event for you!We are very excited to announce that our workshop facilitators for this event will be The Democracy Box. The Democracy Box is about young people finding new creative ways to share The Story of our UK Democracy ‘That Every Citizen Should Know In Seven Short Chapters’ so that all young people, old people and everyone in between can understand our UK democracy and can take part in it.The Democracy Box works with young people aged 16-26, born or based in Wales, as paid co-creators. It has developed four prototypes which seek to increase democratic participation and provide information about the UK’s democratic system and structures.The Democracy Box is non-partisan (it’s not about party politics) and, along with all of Omidaze’s work - the Electoral Commission’s Youth Voice partner in Wales and legal partner with the Future Generations Commissioner, is committed to the United Nations 17 Sustainable Goals. You can expect authentic, engaging and creative new ways to retell The Story of our UK Democracy, including songs, podcasts, videos and illustrations.
