Last week, Senedd Member Joel James MS participated in a 'Digital Dialogue: Wales' session with students aged 9-11 from St John Lloyd RC Primary School.
The session, organised by the Politics Project, aims to build a relationship between young people and their politicians through a facilitated Q&A and conversation with learners via a video conference call.
Before the event, the students underwent 3 hours of lessons using The Politics Project resources, enabling them to have a basic understanding of who Joel was, his role and his responsibilities.
The learners also prepared questions to ask Joel which covered a range of different topics and issues; from the introduction of 20mph speed limits, to how Joel became involved with politics and his journey to becoming a Senedd Member.
Speaking about the session, Joel said:
I've been linking up with The Politics Project ever since I've been elected to the Welsh Parliament and they're so much fun - and last week's was no different.
So many fantastic questions from the kids at St John's, but I must confess, it was quite discerning that they knew so much about me - they even knew what my favourite film was.
