Civics and Citizenship Workshop

Civics & Citizenship is an interactive 75 minute workshop to support grade 5 and 6 students to learn about local government and active citizenship.

The activities throughout the workshop are aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, and address the following key objectives:

  • Increase young people’s understanding of the roles and responsibilities of local government.
  • Build young people’s knowledge of the services available through Brimbank City Council and Brimbank Youth Services that support the health and wellbeing of young people.
  • Build young people’s knowledge of pathways to engage as active citizens.
