Politicians will be able to put their case to young people ahead of the General Election.

Hornsey School for Girls in Inderwick Road, Hornsey, is hosting a hustings event at which representatives from the parties will be questioned on issues affecting young people and international development.

There will also be representatives from the campaign group ONE.org and youth ambassadors present to speak with students about how they can become more involved in politics.

A number of the school’s year 13 pupils will become first-time voters in May and the school hopes the hustings will give them a platform to make their decision come the election.

The event will take place between 3.10pm and 4.30pm in the school’s community theatre on Thursday.
