Democratic engagement

Crowd of people

We have led on democratic engagement, and explored how to strengthen relations between government, representatives and citizens, and how to harness new ways of engaging.


We led on democratic engagement at a national level. Our programme covered:

  • development of engagement methods
  • sharing good practice across government
  • projects that provide young people with practical experiences of democracy
  • funding research into enhancing the involvement of the public in democratic processes.

We also provided secretariat support to the Youth Citizenship Commission.
