UK Parliament’s local outreach officers have taken their adult community workshops online. Their sessions are designed to show groups in the East of England how the House of Commons and House of Lords work, as well as offering first-hand expertise on how to influence decisions made in UK parliament, get their voices heard and campaign for change. The workshops are hosted by Nikki Luke, the outreach officer for the East of England and can be tailored to suit the individual needs of each group.
There are a range of online workshops available throughout the rest of the year, suitable for groups with different accessibility levels and experience in engaging with UK Parliament.
