# 1 Becoming a changemaker

We live at a time of multiple challenges – environmental, economic, political, social and health-related, amongst others. A time of UK and global challenges. Two big challenges the world is currently responding to are climate crisis and the legacies of colonialism.

How can ordinary people make a difference, politically and socially, to these challenges and others? How can they utilise the UK Parliament and the devolved parliaments/assemblies to make change? How can they be a ‘changemaker’?

This course will help you to make a difference through learning about political and social engagement, offering guidance and inspiration to all changemakers, no matter how small.
