Our Manifesto For The World
Our Manifesto For The World
MAKE SURE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE HEARD BY THE NEW UK GOVERNMENT.
Learn about the 2024 UK General Election and the Sustainable Development Goals, and influence the new Government by writing a Manifesto for the World.
The 2024 UK General Election took place on Thursday 4 July.
Across the country, candidates began campaigning to be their constituency’s MP in the new Parliament. The election saw the first Labour Government elected to power since 2010. Now is an ideal time for young people to learn about General Elections and influence their newly elected MP to play their part in building a more just, peaceful and equal world.
This resource takes teachers and young people on an exploration of British democracy, ending with the writing of a collaborative manifesto based on the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals and in particular Goal 4 for Quality Education for All. Schools should then present their manifestos to MPs.
Our Manifesto for the World was jointly produced by Send My Friend to School, Oxfam, CAFOD and Christian Aid. It is available on all our websites.
