Introduction to Local Government for Women
Everything you want to know about local politics brought to you for free by the award winning SHESchool.
Our next series of workshops will take place in Spring 2024. Get in touch to register your interest.
Secondary Schools’ Workshops
As part of our political education series, we can deliver a bespoke presentation for students from senior classes to encourage them to critically engage with See Her Elected’s work and the outcomes from having Council Chambers that do not reflect what the communities they represent look like. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get students thinking about why the current status quo needs to change.
