The app was developed to support the ‘Not’ the Usual Suspects project.
‘Not’ the Usual Suspects
The project, delivered by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Wales, aims to involve young people who are underrepresented in traditional forums in structured dialogue with politicians from the five tiers of decision-making. These tiers include local politics (Community and Town Councillors), City and County politics (County Councillors), Regional politics (Welsh Assembly Members - AM’s), UK politics (Members of Parliament – MP’s) and European politics (Members of the European Parliament – MEP’s).
Through learning about the different levels of decision making the group will then aim to educate others about their learning through modern strategies such as social media and peer led forums. The project links with digital democracy and considers how young people are involved in the political process.
The project has four key objectives:
• Engage young people into the political processes that affect their lives
• Create an awareness about the political processes and how the voice of young people should and could be heard
• Produce a campaign using modern technologies to encourage young people to exercise their right to vote
• Create a ‘Manifesto’ of young peoples views produced by young people and sent to politicians at all levels
