Should 16-year-olds be allowed to vote? TOPICAL TALK FESTIVAL

The UK government has committed to lower the voting age to 16 before the next general election, adding almost 1.5 million new young voters to the electorate. Countries including Argentina, Brazil and Cuba have allowed voting at 16 for decades.

What might younger voters mean for democracy?

YEAR 4 LESSON

In this coteaching lesson we tried to help students:

2. Compare how political views may differ across age groups.
3. Discuss the potential impact of lowering the voting age.

In our lesson we had the immense pleasure to host Tomek and Grzezgor, two Polish Teacher jobshadowing this week.
