I believe strongly that young people should gain some awareness of how the political process works in this country. One of their first points of contact in learning about this process should be to meet their local councillor or MP.
To this end I have been taking part in the Schools Rock FM podcasting which involves me going into local primary schools and being 'grilled' by the children as to what I do as a councillor and if possible help them with a project.
I intend to visit three primary schools in the near future to help children with a podcast.
I like this project because it involves the children in an innovative way with local politicians while at the same time teaching them how to make a well researched radio programme which is then broadcast on the Rock FM website.
