Local Democracy event with a post-16 unit

Town Hall, Chesterfield Borough Council
17/10/2018
A group of students from the post-16 unit of a local special school visited the Town Hall. The group visited the Council Chamber where they met councillors from the local area where their school was. The students learnt about what the council does, how it works and the political make up of the council. There were activities based on the 100 year centenary of WW1 where students debated whether teenagers were better off now or in 1918. They also asked questions to the councillors that they had prepared and highlighted issues that were important to them.
