The Shock of Victory Kids' Parliament

During CCA’s The Shock of Victory, a Kids’ Parliament will be developed as a creative project within the exhibition. It will engage children aged 5-11 years old to discuss the concept and format of the most important organism devoted to decision making: the Parliament. In collaboration with Hyndland After School Club and under the facilitation of Richy Carey, children play an active role in this project. During a visit from their local MP, they will learn how Parliament works. Learning about our current system will encourage them to start their own discussions about how their Parliament might work. The Kids’ Parliament will facilitate a forum for children to voice their opinions on a broad range of issues. By creating their own form of parliament, the kids will learn how political engagement can have a positive impact on everyday situations.
