Festival of Politics - Gen Z and Politics

21 Aug

Date: Thursday 21 August 2025
Time: 15:00 - 16:30
Categories: Student events
Venue: The Scottish Parliament
Speaker: Prof Danny Dorling, Dr Elisabeth Loose, Ellie Craig MSYP

What and how do young people really think and engage with politics? Are they engaged, disillusioned, or redefining what political participation looks like? And how important is trust in the conventional political system compared to what community activism offers instead? Join the discussion on the priorities for the future, and what needs to change to restore trust in democracy and address Gen Z’s vocal financial anxieties when it comes to housing, debt and opportunities. And what does it all mean for the future of the political system?
