CONEL Music and Creative Media students visit the Houses of Parliament

Students from CONEL’s Music and Creative Media courses spent time exploring the Houses of Parliament to learn about politics, democracy and history.

Students from The College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London (CONEL) visited the Houses of Parliament on 5 December. 

The group of 30 students, which was made up of Level 2 Music and Level 3 Creative Media students, spent the day learning more about the history and work of the UK Parliament.

The visit began with an enjoyable and informative 90-minute tour which was delivered by an expert guide. During the tour, students had the opportunity to spend time in important and iconic parliamentary spaces such as the House of Commons, the House of Lords and Westminster Hall and find out about how and when they are used.

In addition to learning about the dramatic 900-year history of The Palace of Westminster, students also gained insight into the work of the UK Parliament and its current relevance. They also heard about the ways in which they could become more involved and engaged with the democratic process.

Marek Morzuch, a Creative Media teacher, said “The students loved going through the different areas within the building and asked so many questions about the history of the building and enjoyed looking at the architecture and memorabilia.”
