  • Do you live, or go to school in, Witney, surrounding areas, or in the west of Oxfordshire?
  • Are you secondary school age and able to join an in-person session where you can meet other young people?
  • Want to find out more about local politics, and discuss local issues affecting young people with politicians?
  • Fancy having pizza and receiving £15 as a thank you for taking part?!

If yes... read on!

Politics affects everything around us... for example how much we get paid, what we learn in school and college, and how our green spaces are maintained. All young people have a right to have their voice heard on matters that affect them, and there are many ways for young people to get involved in politics, even if you aren’t yet old enough to vote.


Get involved and have your say!

We are running a Pizza and Politics session in Witney for young people (aged 11 - 18) in Oxfordshire, as part of our Future Generations programme. If you live, or go to school in, Witney, surrounding areas, or in the west of Oxfordshire, sign up now!

This will be a fantastic opportunity for you to:

  • learn about democratic processes, representation and how local politics works
  • understand what the council’s role is
  • think about your role in the community, representation and voting
  • discuss what you think about your life in Oxfordshire and how it could be better for future generations of young people
  • meet and chat to politicians and senior decision makers from Oxfordshire County Council and hear about their experiences
  • be part of a Q & A session with decision makers
  • meet new friends and have democracy and citizenship conversations

As a thank you, we'll give you £15.00, cover travel expenses, and you'll also get a certificate to show you took part.
Please refer to the two participant information documents on this page (one for young people aged up to 17, and one for those aged 18) for more information about claiming out of pocket expenses and payment for involvement.


When, what time, where?

This pizza and politics event will take place in central Witney on Friday 23 January, for 2.5 hours, from 5.30pm - 8.00pm.

The session will be run by council staff (who are DBS checked). Pizza, other snacks and refreshments will be provided.


How do I sign up?

To register your interest in taking part, click the COMPLETE FORM button below and submit your form by Sunday 18 January.
If you are under 16 years of age, your parent/carer needs to complete the form for you.

Please note:

Signing up does not guarantee you a place at the session, and we will be in touch from Friday 16 January to confirm if you have a place. If you are booked on, we will then provide further details, including the venue.

If you have attended any of our previous pizza and politics events, please do not register for this event, as the content will be similar and we’d like to enable as many young people as possible to participate. Thank you.
