this stage is about understanding the policies and priorities being put forward. Manifestos outline what candidates or parties are proposing to do if elected, and can help voters decide which parties best align with their priority issues.

The resources are designed to support young people to explore and compare different manifestos, identify key themes, and consider how these relate to their own views and experiences. They also provide opportunities for learners to discuss, question, and form their own opinions on the issues that matter most to them.
