Calling all educators, schools, and colleges in Mid Sussex!
Mims Davies MP is pleased to be sharing information on the UK Parliament Teacher Ambassador Programme.
The Education and Engagement Service will be hosting their next residential UK Parliament Teacher Ambassador Programme from the 1st-3rd July 2024.
This brilliant programme offers a unique three-day course where teachers get to experience the workings of Parliament first-hand before returning to their classrooms to build their students’ understanding and increase their engagement with UK Parliament.
The cost of transport, accommodation, and most meals for teachers taking part will be covered and the team welcome applications from teachers, school/college leaders and teacher training providers working with young people aged 5-18.
Throughout the three days, the teachers will get to experience:
- Q&A sessions with the Speaker, Lord Speaker, and Members of both Houses
- Talks from subject specialists
- Workshops devoted to key aspects of the work of UK Parliament
- Opportunities to explore new and exciting teaching ideas
- Tours of the Palace of Westminster and the Parliamentary Education Centre
In 2023, 100% of the teachers who attended rated the course as excellent, and 100% of the teachers left saying they felt confident teaching about UK Parliament as a result of the programme.
One attendee shared:
“It has been the most amazing course I’ve been on.
I’ve found it has really fired my passion again
It has given me real and practical ideas I can take back to school.”
Application forms are available online at UK Parliament Teacher Ambassador Programme and the closing date is Sunday 24 March 2024.
Please note the course is often over-subscribed so teachers will be accepted based on their answers to the application questions.
