A teacher from Coleg Cambria has been successful in her application to join the prestigious UK Parliament Teacher Ambassador Programme.
Melina Morris will be part of the programme, which starts on 20 January.
The aim is to develop students’ understanding of democracy.
She will have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A with the House of Commons Speaker and the Lord Speaker, and hear from parliamentarians of all parties about their work.
Following the programme, teachers will go back to develop their students’ and colleagues’ understanding of UK Parliament and democracy.
The 65 Teacher Ambassadors attending the programme will go on to reach over 65,000 school-aged children.
Andrew Ranger MP who will be welcoming Melina and other teachers to Westminster, said: “Having young people engaged and talking about politics is vitally important to our democracy.
“I am delighted that Coleg Cambria students will be benefiting from this fantastic programme.”
