  • All-Party Parliamentary Group on Political and Media LiteracySubject Group

    This APPG aims to highlight the importance of political and media literacy education in promoting youth participation in democratic life and cultivating discerning consumers of media resilient to misinformation. Ultimately, we hope all young people will be politically and media literate by the time they finish their secondary education.
