The Senedd and Elections Bill 2019 will lower the voting age to 16 in Wales.Changes to the National Curriculum in Wales emphasise young people as 'ethical,informed citizens' ( Welsh Government 2015: 1). However, a report by the YouthParliament found that only 10% of school children had received political education(Welsh Youth Parliament 2019: 13) I focus on museums as provider ofeducation,who could help to address this gap. Museums 'can support conversationand action (around political issues) (Newell 2016:1).Wales is a leader in youth empowerment. The Wellbeing of Future Generations Act(2015) focuses on equality. Equality ' remains hugely salient as an organisingconcept for the struggle against political marginalisation' (Armstrong 2006:2). Manyyoung people remain dependent on others, e.g parents, and 'dependent people cancome to become marginalised' ( Yang 1997b:125 quoted by Armstrong 2006:98).The Museums Association is concerned about the impact of Brexit on 'thecommunities that museums serve'(Museums Association 2016:1). This politicalcontext has raised uncertainty over the future of museums both in the UK and inWales as a devolved nation.This research would contribute to understanding of the role ofmuseums in the emerging field of heritage and political education.Political education is of growing importance in Wales.It would widen understanding of young people's engagement withmuseums across contexts in Wales, informing practice and suggestingpolitical education as an area of work to prioritise in a context ofconflicting demands.

《2019年塞内德和选举法案》将威尔士的投票年龄降低到16岁。威尔士国家课程的变化强调年轻人是“有道德、知情的公民”（威尔士政府，2015年：1）。然而，青年议会的一份报告发现，只有10%的学童接受过政治教育（威尔士青年议会2019：13），我专注于博物馆作为教育的提供者，他们可以帮助解决这一差距。博物馆可以支持对话和行动（围绕政治问题）（纽韦尔2016：1）。威尔士是青年赋权的领导者。2015年《后代福祉法》（Wellbeing of Future Generations Act）强调平等。平等“作为反对政治边缘化斗争的组织概念仍然非常突出”（Armstrong 2006：2）。许多年轻人仍然依赖他人，例如父母，“依赖他人的人可能会被边缘化”（Yang 1997 b：125，由Armstrong 2006：98引用）。博物馆协会担心英国脱欧对“博物馆服务的社区”的影响（Museums Association 2016：1）。这种政治背景增加了英国和威尔士作为一个权力下放国家的博物馆未来的不确定性。这项研究将有助于理解博物馆在遗产和政治教育这一新兴领域的作用。政治教育在威尔士越来越重要。它将扩大对威尔士年轻人参与博物馆的理解，为实践提供信息，并将政治教育作为一个工作领域，在相互冲突的需求背景下予以优先考虑。
