What is UK Parliament Week?
UK Parliament Week (UKPW) is an annual event, spreading the word about what Parliament is, what it does and how you can get involved. It’s a great way to find out new things about UK Parliament or be reminded of things you might’ve forgotten! You’ll get a free kit to help you get informed about your UK Parliament, take action and make an impact on the issues you care about.
Last year over 1.6 million people took part in every nation and region of the UK, and countries all over the world.
What’s in it for you?
When you sign up, we’ll send you a digital kit packed with resources.
You can pick and choose from the options in the booklet to tailor your UK Parliament Week activity to suit whatever time you have available and age groups you’re working with.
Plan ahead or just open your kit and go! Taking part is that easy!
Need some inspiration?
With over 10,000 activities last year, UK Parliament Week was celebrated in all sorts of ways. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- lively debates and quizzes
- discussing issues and holding votes
- creating petitions
- themed assemblies and school council elections
- baking, crafting and colouring
- meeting your MP, a member of the Lords, local councillors, mayors, MLAs, MSs or MSPs – either in person or virtually
