Parliament Week at KidZania

Back for another year, we are hosting our own Parliament Week 2019 with a series of thought-provoking activities and workshops in celebration of UK Parliament Week! Empowering students to have their own say and to discover what a career in politics is like, we will be providing hands-on experience of the UK political system through voting and debating sessions.   

We have partnered with WWE and NSPCC to support Anti-Bullying Week by encouraging kids to discuss how we can help tackle the challenges around bullying. Plus, Shout Out UK will be joining us again on 5th November to deliver a new 'Policy-Making' workshop.

Learning Outcomes: Key Stage 1-3 PSHE and Citizenship – build awareness on democracy and justice, respecting differences through understanding both points of views on a topical issue, knowledge of our rights and freedom of opinion in a democratic process

Activities to look forward to at KidZania's Parliament Week 2019

► Exciting Debating Sessions - Location: KidZania Theatre

Hear ye, hear ye! Our KidZania Government has proposed two new motions within our version of the ‘House of Commons’ located in the Theatre. 

Motion 1: This House calls for the end of non-recyclable plastic used in our City at KidZania.

Motion 2: This House proposes that KidZania should fine 5 kidZos for bullying behaviour in our City.

Our debating session will run twice across the day, with the opportunity to debate on both motions within each session. Students will be called upon the stage to either be in group “Proposers” (For the motion) or group “Opposers” (Against the motion). We encourage all students to pre-prepare their debate for these motions in class before their trip to KidZania, however we will have cue cards available to assist them.

► Have your say in our Polling Station - Location: Library

We ask all children at KidZania to make their vote count on key topical issues.
