A group of students from Gower College Swansea visited the Houses of Parliament earlier this month as part of the UK Youth Parliament movement.
Scott Russell, a Level 3 Technical Theatre student from the Gorseinon campus, was joined by Sian Bolton, Jack Scott and Gwen Griffiths on the trip.
Scott, who lives in the Rhondda Valleys, has a long term interest in politics and has participated in various youth council initiatives in his local area.
It’s been a hectic few weeks for the college’s AS and A Level Government and Politics students.
Firstly, they were invited to take part in BBC Wales’ Ask The Leader live televised debates, held in advance of the forthcoming National Assembly for Wales elections on 5 May.
A group of Gower College Swansea A level students headed to New York for a recent field trip.
The 39 students from A level Geography, Politics and World Development courses visited the Big Apple from Monday 3rd to Saturday 8th March and packed a lot in to the 5 day trip! Along with sightseeing some of the city’s most iconic landmarks the students were able to study migration and sustainability in New York as well as tour the United Nations headquarters, Capitol Hill and watch a live vote in the American Senate.
