Patchwork Master Class delegates 2015/16 attended a master class with Lionel Zetter, a world leading lobbyist about the ‘Art of Lobbying.’
Lionel Zetter said: “I was hugely impressed with the energy and engagement of the Patchworkers. Their questions about the role of lobbying in a democratic society were incisive and the debate was robust. What the meeting clearly demonstrated was that discussion and dialogue are crucial to the democratic process. By the end of the meeting I believe the Patchworkers had a better understanding of how lobbying works within the democratic process. I certainly gained a clearer understanding of the priorities of young people – and their determination to be heard!”
