Law students meet Members of the Senedd in Cardiff visit
A-level learners from Coleg Llandrillo took part in a debate and were given a tour of the Senedd chamber
Coleg Llandrillo students visited the Senedd recently to learn more about how laws are made in Wales.
A-level law students from the Rhyl campus travelled to Cardiff to visit the Welsh Parliament, where they also met Members of the Senedd Sam Rowlands and Mark Isherwood.
They were given a tour of the Senedd chamber, and also had the opportunity to conduct their own debate.
Sam Rowlands, MS for North Wales and Shadow Minister for Local Government, said: “It was fantastic to welcome law students from the Rhyl campus of Llandrillo College and talk to them about what we do as members of the Welsh Parliament.
“It was great to see them so enthusiastic about visiting the Senedd, and they asked me some challenging and insightful questions.
“I think it is so important that our young people learn more about politics and the Welsh Parliament and I am always happy to welcome young people from colleges or schools from North Wales to visit the Senedd.”
Mark Isherwood, MS for North Wales, said: “It was a pleasure to meet a group of A-level law students from Llandrillo College, Rhyl Campus, and to answer their questions about how Senedd/Welsh Parliament business and legislation work.
“Young people are our future, and democratic education and literacy in Wales is vital to the health of our democracy.”
Peter Cornish, A-level law lecturer, said: “It was an amazing experience for the students, and they all thoroughly enjoyed the day. The information and skills they learned from this experience will be advantageous for the students in their upcoming exams in May.”
