Preparing for the 2014 chamber event
In the run-up to this year's House of Lords Chamber Event, there were eight regional Talking Days where young people from UK Youth and members of the U3A met each other in an exciting afternoon filled with activities.
Starting off with an intergenerational discussion about the history and evolution of democracy, participants were then introduced to the basics of debating before engaging in a mock debate. At the end of each event, some participants were selected to lead the debate in the Lords chamber on 28 November.
The Talking Days took place on Saturdays in October and November and ran from 13.00 to 17.00.
