Our step-by-step guide will help you to contact and meet with your local parliamentary candidates to complete our climate education report card with them.
Together, we will meet as many parliamentary candidates as possible to make sure that the MPs who will represent us in the next Parliament will take action to improve climate education in schools.

Under 18s, including many of us at Teach the Future, have shown that politicians will still engage with us and we have the power to influence decisions. We also often have emotional and persuasive influence over our parents and key adults in our lives who will be able to vote.
No. You can get started straight away by following our step-by-step guide. If you would like to meet other young people, get additional guidance and join our communications channel on Slack, then you will need to join a welcome call.
A Parliamentary Candidate is someone who is campaigning to be elected in the General Election 2024; to represent you and other people in your local area in the House of Commons, and become your Member of Parliament (MP). Your current MP may also be running as a Parliamentary Candidate for the General Election. You will have a number of Parliamentary Candidates in your area from a range of different political parties. We want to try and meet candidates from a range of political parties. A general election gives most adults in the UK the chance to have a say by voting on who their local MP is and who runs the country.
Not necessarily. It would be great if you can share photos with us on social media to encourage others to join in, but if you'd rather not be in a photo, just having the report card filled in online is still extremely useful!
Of course! We understand that meeting with a politician for the first time can be a scary experience, so please feel free to conduct the meeting with a parent or carer if you'd prefer.
