Guides on Citizen Engagement for Parliaments: Education Programmes
Parliaments are fundamental to democracy, but it is often difficult to understand how they work. Parliaments have a responsibility to provide opportunities for citizens across different groups in society to learn about what their parliament is, what it does, and how to get involved.
Education programmes are widely offered by parliaments across the world, and there are various approaches for different (age and other) groups. This Guide provides an overview of different approaches and considerations to help parliaments deliver meaningful and effective education programmes.
