🌟 Activism Academy: What to Expect

This year’s 2026 Summer Activism Academy will be running twice across the same week: 27–28 July or 29–30 July. This year’s extended format will enable more people to take part and gain a better understanding of our political system. Both courses will cover the same issues, offering a breakdown of the UK political system. Expect to hear from MPs, activists, campaigners on everything from how our voting system works to running successful political campaigns.

⚠️ Important Information

• You must either live in or attend school in the Clapham & Brixton Hill constituency in order to apply for my 2026 Activism Academy.
• Priority will be given to applicants who can commit to attending both days of either programme (either 27-28 July or 29-30 July).
• The course will be completely free to attend.
• The deadline for applications is Midday (12pm) on the 30th June but we encourage you to apply as early as possible.
