In partnership with the Parliamentary Community and Outreach and Engagement team, the non-partisan educational and social enterprise successfully demystified and broke down the barriers between politics and young people through debate, key note speakers and breakout workshops.Young people were given the opportunity to debate the challenges and opportunities faced within the current fixed, codified US constitution and the more flexible British arrangements. A variety of groups tasks and challenges followed in which individuals drafted principles and rules for a British constitution fit for the centuries of change ahead including: UK-EU relationship, voting systems, human rights and devolution of power.
