Episode 192 of the Common Weal Policy Podcast
You can download the episode directly here.
This week, Craig talks to Sophia Georgescu, a PhD candidate currently researching how actively involving children in democratic participation can both educate and embed participation later but can also have a meaningful impact on our democracy itself. Decisions affecting everyone should not be solely left to the "adults in the room". They also discuss the progress Scotland is making in embedding children's rights into democratic structures and into policy-making.
