  2. Sharing your report can help raise awareness and build wider support for your issue.

  4. 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.
