The Young Citizens' Say: Referendum 2011 is a partnership between The Co-operative and the Institute for Citizenship, aiming to empower young people to have their say on key issues such as the AV Referendum. Politics and democracy can be hard topics for young people to understand, but this project aims to unwrap these challenging topics through free teaching resources, events and film resources.
