Enabling young voices for civic action

 

Visit Project Website

How can we collectively act to create positive outcomes for a better world? The enabling young voices for civic action project website houses resources developed by asking how can education further embed child and youth global citizenship literacies and leadership, so that we can all work together to create positive change. To do this we:

  • interviewed adult and youth thought leaders on child and youth rights, global learning, democracy, activism and citizenship,
  • comprehensively reviewed research literature and reports on global citizenship education and literacies, and
  • scoped open access online global citizenship curricular resources.

From these collated insights, we developed:

  • a transformative literacies framework to informatively guide literacies required in active citizenship practice; and
  • a comprehensive resource catalogue of open access online global citizenship curricular resources.

To inspire and challenge your global citizenship education thinking and practices, please listen to the wisdom of Queensland’s Children’s Commissioner Natalie Lewis, Queensland Youth Parliamentarians, Justine Friedman, Harshitha Peddireddy and Theo Dickey and Ngugi and Wakka Wakka academic leader Professor Tracey Bunda and young Yuru leader Arielle Henaway.
