The Democracy Box involves young people aged 16-26 being paid as co-creators to explore and develop new ways to explain the basics of our democracy for other young people, old people and everyone in between all year round and not just in the run up to an election.

#TDB #BeBoldBeBraveBeEducated #NoShameNoBlame

The Democracy Box aims to promote understanding of our UK democracy and achieve a shared basic level of understanding by the majority of the population.

The Democracy Box is about young people finding new creative ways to share The Story of our UK Democracy That Every Citizen Should Know In Seven Short Chapters so that all young people, old people and everyone in between can understand our UK democracy and can take part.

Our UK democracy needs all citizens to be informed, actively encouraged to get involved and to understand that it is their democratic right to challenge, question, protest, shape, critique, debate and influence our democracy all year round and not just at the ballot box.

The Democracy Box works with young people aged 16-26, born or based in Wales, as paid co-creators. It has developed four prototypes which seek to increase democratic participation and provide information about the UK's democratic system and structures.

CWBR (Community Wellbeing and Resilience) Youth is a project to help young people (16-25) better connect with their community:

many young people want to make a difference in their community

many young people don’t know much about their town and community councils

town, city and community councils in Pembrokeshire want to involve and help young people

In Phase 1 (Summer 2022) we will:

· engage with young people over a number of activity days and residential experiences

· engage with Town, City and Community Councils (TCCCs)

· co-design the project approach with young people, TCCCs and relevant professionals

· work with schools and other bodies that work with young people to support the development of active and informed citizenship

In Phase 2 (Autumn 2022) we will:

· implement county-wide CWBR Youth groups

· invite TCCCllrs to CWBR Youth Groups

· support young people to engage with TCCCs

· continue work supporting the development of materials for schools in active and informed citizenship

Beyond Talk

One of the biggest critiques of modern politics is that politicians are all talk and no action. Many people think that politicians tell them what they want to hear face-to-face, but won't always take their ideas on board or act on issues afterwards.

We want to push politicians to do more and as we know that many of them already do, we have created Pledges to showcase politicians taking action and hold them to the promises that they make to young people.

By demonstrating when politicians do what they say they will, we are helping to rebuild trust and establishing strong relationships between young people and their representatives.
