About this Event

Secondary students from schools across Cambridge will fill the University of Cambridge’s famous Cambridge Union Debating Chamber to put questions and detailed proposals to a panel of MPs from the main political parties. The aim is to share concerns but also to have a positive, forward-looking discussion that seeks common ground. Adults are welcome to listen to the event from the public gallery.


The event will be chaired by speechwriter, author and teacher Guy Doza.


Please note: 300 spaces are reserved for school pupils. An additional 100 seats in the public gallery will be allocated to the public; these seats are free but must be pre-booked via the booking link.


Organised in partnership between Parkside Community College and Cambridge Carbon Footprint.
