South Swindon MP Robert Buckland wants as many of his constituents as possible to take part in UK Parliament Week.
He is inviting schools, colleges, community groups and residents in South Swindon to sign up and get involved.
UK Parliament Week is a UK-wide festival taking place from 1–7 November which aims to engage people, especially young people, from different backgrounds and communities with the UK Parliament and empower them to get involved.
Community groups, local organisations and schools representing every constituency across the United Kingdom have already signed up to be part of the conversation.
Mr Buckland said: “It is important that our voters and future voters and citizens of tomorrow understand how vital their participation is in our democracy and I am excited to see so many schools and local community groups have already signed up to Parliament Week.
“Now that Parliament is open again to visitors, I am also inviting schools, colleges and local community groups to come and visit.
“The Learning Centre offers a wide range of free curriculum linked interactive tours and workshops and I always look forward to meeting school pupils and staff for question and answer sessions."
This year marks 10 years of UK Parliament Week, and the event is billed as great opportunity to be part of a thriving democracy and look ahead to the next 10 years, and for people to think about what issues are important how they can work with Parliament to bring about change.
