Programme Opportunity at School for Everyday Democracy

Ready to make change in your community? Apply for the next School for Everyday Democracy cohort!

United Kingdom | 22 May 2025

The School for Everyday Democracy is a multi-year project co-delivered by Act Build Change and Involve. It works to build the power of people to deliver common good in their communities, and across the UK and will support 100 people to become Everyday Democracy Champions.

The programme's mission is to shift the balance of power within our democratic system and across all four nations of the UK, to strengthen society so it is more:

  • Equitable – needs, experience and ideas of all people centred in how we determine our collective future.
  • Participatory – people have the freedom, support and opportunity to shape their communities and influence the decisions that affect their lives.
  • Empathetic – people seek to understand, empathise with and care for others, including those different to themselves.

We’re especially keen to hear from people in the devolved nations. We’ve got a 50% quota in place just for those from Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. We will cover and support your travel and time. Distance is not a barrier—we’d love to hear from you.

Costs such as travel, accommodation and meals will be covered. Additional costs including childcare and translation can also be covered.
