Parliament Express is a free series of workshops and 1:1 mentoring sessions for people aged 18 to 25.
This program gives emerging writers the ability to not only experience, but also document the work of parliament. Participants have the chance to engage with MPs, members of the press gallery and parliamentary staff. Launched in 2022, the program aims to upskill aspiring journalists who have an interest in politics. Those involved can indicate their preference for online, in person or hybrid participation. Parliament Express demonstrated how parliament engages with young people.
‘One of the benefits of this entire experience is that our work will be published on the website which is very exciting because we can build up our portfolio,’ previous participant Chelsea Daniel said. The two-hour fortnightly sessions will start on a Tuesday evening in April. Apply by Wednesday 22 March 2023 for a place, run by Parliament of Victoria and Express Media.
