This interactive and interdisciplinary workshop, with an academic and/or Postgraduate ambassadors, empowers students to develop their understanding of political communication and explore the issues that matter most to them. Students will identify important political and social issues and be supported to understand how they can enact social change for good. They will develop both a theoretical understanding and have an opportunity to put theory into practice as they examine how such issues might be represented visually and activated politically.
