Political Speed Dating
In partnership with the District and Borough Councils, we organised a series of political speed dating events designed to give young people a chance to meet and question their local councillors in a speed dating style session.
The young people had 4 minutes to ask their local district or county councillors as many questions as they can on any issues they want – with the exception of age, address or political affiliation. Councillors were then scored by the young people based on their approachability, listening skills, knowledge and how well the Councillors answered their questions!
These events are designed to be a fun way for young people to meet their local councillors, find out what they do and how they can represent young people’s views at a local level. Councillors also have the opportunity to take away some ideas about the issues that young people are currently facing.
