Teachers from across Victoria’s education sector are invited to a special workshop focusing on engagement in the civics and citizenship classroom.

This workshop explores what it means to engage in civics and citizenship and what engaging civics and citizenship education looks like. Through using co-design strategies participants will explore concepts such as democracy, decision-making and representation. Additionally, participants will consider how these co-design strategies can be used in the classroom to enhance democratic decision-making, encourage active citizenship and elevate student voice.

Led by staff from the Parliament of Victoria and facilitators from Swinburne Living Lab, the ‘Engaging civics and citizenship’ workshop is suitable for both primary and secondary teachers.

Attendees will receive a professional development certificate as well as relevant classroom resources.
