Level 5 Function Room at Royal Festival Hall
We need more women in politics and it starts here. Only two countries in the world have 50% or more women in their parliament; Britain comes a poor 48th in the world for female representation. In this session, you can learn from cross-party experts about growing your political voice, canvassing, campaigning for a cause you believe in, and standing for election. Speakers include: former political adviser Ayesha Hazarika MBE; Liberal Democrat politician and former MP Jo Swinson; Labour Party politician Tulip Siddiq MP; Gillian Keegan, Conservative campaigner and Director of Women2Win and Hannah Peaker, chief of staff for the Women’s Equality Party.
This is followed by a practical workshop led by The Parliament Project to help you harness your political potential.
