Results & Impact
Each week hundreds of thousands of young people vote on our latest lesson. Here's what they say, and how their voices are changing the world.
30th August - 06th September 2024
After the UK experienced a slew of anti-immigration and far-right riots following the attack in Southport on the 29th July, we created a set of lessons that considered what role false information had to play. Primary pupils discussed the riots but with a stronger focus on the unity many communities displayed in response to the violence. Those aged 11+ delved more deeply into the misinformation and disinformation that spread online in the hours after the attack and then considered how far it was to blame for the riots that followed.
Secondary, 16+ & College voters were asked: “Was false information to blame for the summer riots?”, while Primary 9-11 voters discussed: “Were you proud of your community this summer?” and Primary 5-9 voters considered: “Are you proud of your community?”
23,391 young people in the UK have taken part in this vote.

For this VoteTopic, voters explored the not-so-sweet side of energy drinks and whether they should be banned for young people, as per the Labour Party's manifesto pledge. At its heart, this topic had a bigger question, which was about choice and agency for under-18s. So long as they're armed with the relevant information to make choices about their health, should they not be allowed to decide how they spend their money? Or should their choice be restricted like it would be about alcohol or tobacco products?
