Active participation and young people

Use this provocation to explore the ways young people can participate in democracy.

Discuss the ways students can read up, dress up, stand up, speak up and show up. 

People being active participants: two people recycling bottles and paper, a person growing a plant, one person wearing a t-shirt that reads 'Student Voice', and another person wearing a t-shirt that reads 'Share ideas' in front of microphones and a camera.
