Political participation in my community
The study of politics is about learning academic theory, but also about conducting research in our communities in order to both put theory into practice. This helps us to learn new things about the world around us, and make contributions to the body of existing knowledge.
In this module, you will take your learning around political participation and research methods, and apply it to a research project in your community to consider how to improve participation in your area. This might be about formal politics – such as in Parish/ Town/Local Authority government and elections, or you might instead look at informal participation such as volunteering in community organisations designed to bring about positive change in the localities within which they operate.
