At some point in late April, just days before the election, it is increasingly possible that London Citizens member communities will have the opportunity to put their agenda for change direct to the three main political party leaders.
We want everyone to learn about and take part in this agenda, which has come about through London Citizens' meetings, local assemblies and the huge Assembly at the Barbican on 25th November 2009.
As a result the schools team is creating 8 learning opportunities for schools (and faith groups, youth groups etc) to investigate the agenda of...
A living wage
Affordable housing
Safer Streets
No detention for children of people seeking sanctuary
Putting 1% of the banking bail-out into mutual, local forms of lending
Putting a cap on the amount of interest people can charge
Tackling the real power players in London
Each learning opportunity will include 8 steps to help people make up their minds on the issue. If you're interested in working with me (Ben, Citizen Schools Co-ordinator) to develop resources on one (or more) of these, just get in touch with me now - ben@citizenschools.info. The finished resources will go out to over 250,000 Londoners (great for the CV)! We'll need to meet up for 1-2 hours within the next 2 weeks to get it done.
