Local college inspires new generation of politicians

Students from Newcastle-under-Lyme College (NULC) are taking part in European Democracy Week in partnership with Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council.

Students studying AS and A Level Law at the College have been invited to take part in a week of events by the local council.  The week kicks off on Monday with the Leader of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, Gareth Snell meeting with students and providing an insight into local government and the role it plays within society.

Emily Phillips, Curriculum Leader for Law at NULC, said: “We’re delighted to be the only college locally to be participating in European Democracy Week.  The students will be meeting a whole host of public figures and learning all kinds of employability skills.  Opportunities like this really set our students apart when applying for university, as they have first hand experience of working with public figures and an informed insight in to government and politics.”

In addition, students will also be taking part in a Planning Committee Meeting where they will have the opportunity to apply the theoretical law they have been studying at college.
