We want to kick-start a revolution of participation in British politics by changing the way it is perceived by the public. Catch21 seeks to achieve this by producing shows all over the UK, which will attract young people - those who are seen as the least likely to be interested in the traditional style of politics - by including well-known public faces.

Chance to be a Chancellor

Catch21 is pleased to present an exciting opportunity to all of our 14-19 year old viewers, set up by our friends at the Citizenship Foundation. Make sure you don't miss out!

Chance to be Chancellor’ challenges 14 – 19 year olds to take on the role of Chancellor by drafting their own mock Budget and delivering their vision for the future of the UK economy.  Chance to be Chancellor engages young people on the big issues of the day from recession to public spending with the competition materials including a lesson plan alongside this years Budget policies.  All would be Chancellor’s must prioritise those policies they would choose for public spending and justify their vision in a Budget speech.  Along with other great prizes the winning entry will be published in The Times around Budget day to give a young persons perspective on the Budget.  Chance to be Chancellor is a great way to deliver citizenship education on the big economic challenges of the day and the deadline is 26th February - for details check out www.payingforit.org.uk.
