Local Democracy Week 2022 in Kirklees

Local places across Kirklees and online
From 31/10/2022 to 31/10/2022
We’re celebrating Local Democracy Week with a programme of activities happening throughout October. Citizens can take part in conversations to shape their local environment, share their views, hear about the power of community from inspiring local organisations and projects, learn about local democracy, join in with practical environmental activities and share their own stories about getting involved. There are also talks and community events. During Local Democracy Week we’re visiting some of the first schools in Kirklees to achieve our Democracy Friendly Schools award for taking part in our programme. Young people are also taking part in a Youth Climate Festival, meeting the Mayor of Kirklees and meeting their local councillors. KIrklees Council staff are taking part in a day of action with local environment groups. Members of staff from the council’s Young Employee Network are taking part in workshops to learn about working effectively with councillors and citizens.
