This APPG aims to highlight the importance of political and media literacy education in promoting youth participation in democratic life and cultivating discerning consumers of media resilient to misinformation. Ultimately, we hope all young people will be politically and media literate by the time they finish their secondary education.
Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
