If you want change get on your bike and peddle hard

WITH so much competition for your vote, getting the core message across can make all the difference. But how do you run a successful election campaign, how do you identify areas of concern in your constituency and is it possible to make a difference? We set transition year students from Ashton Grammar School, Cork, the task...

TO begin, we wanted to identify the issues of concern in our local area, both inside and outside the school that would direct our campaign.

We elected a committee to run different elements of our campaign. These included creating awareness, producing promotional literature, fundraising, research, lobbying public representatives and politicians in our area.
