Virtual Camp Parliament for Girls UK

Virtual Camp Parliament for Girls UK is a live interactive online class that introduces girls ages 12 to 17 to the UK’s parliamentary system of government. Virtual Camp Parliament for Girls begins with a lesson the structure and history of the British Parliament. The lesson goes on to review the eligibility requirements to stand for office, a review of political parties, a study of the structure of elections and recognition of the UK’s female political leaders. Students will form political parties, create a campaign platform to stand for office, vote in a virtual election and form a government to pass a law. Each student will serve as an MP.

The class is limited to 12 students, no exceptions. The class will be hosted via GoToMeeting. We recommend students use a headset and microphone for the class to provide the best quality audio connection.
