Lesson details
Key learning points
- An active citizenship report explains what you did, discovered, and the outcomes of your project.
- Sharing your report can help raise awareness and build wider support for your issue.
- It also helps promote the values of active citizenship in your community personally, within yourself.
- Share your report with peers, your school, local community, decision makers, and relevant organisations.
Keywords
Inform - to give someone information or tell them about something
Report - a written or spoken account that gives details about something that happened
Active citizenship - the process of learning how to take part in democracy and use Citizenship knowledge, skills and understanding to try to make a positive difference
Common misconception
That once the active citizenship project is complete, it's over.
By reporting about your project and sharing this with others, it can continue to amplify the issue and develop ongoing active citizenship skills.
Discuss what this can look like within well-known campaigns, e.g. when Gina Martin managed to change the law, she did not just stop talking about the issue. She continues to advocate for others and make people aware of the issue of harassment.
