Learn with the Lords Day
What is Learn with the Lords Day?
This 2-hour, 15-minute experience includes:
- A tour of the Palace of Westminster
- An interactive workshop about the law-making process in our Education Centre
- A Q&A with a Baroness or Lord
Participating in the day will give your students an understanding of the role and membership of the House of Lords, and UK Parliament.
-
All of our students loved the day they spent in the Houses of Parliament learning about the role of the House of Lords with many of them saying they would be working there in the future. I would highly recommend this experience to other schools and hope to have the opportunity to bring more students in the future. Thank you to our guides for being informative, patient and really making it a day to remember for our students!
