Learn how to be a change maker in your community at State Library Victoria's Big Ideas for Young Minds event.
Join us online to hear from some of Australia’s brightest leaders in social change, including:
- Oxfam Australia’s Marketing Communication Manager, Ivor Vaz, who will teach you how to develop and pitch an idea.
- Co-founder of Who Gives a Crap, Jehan Ratnatunga, who will share all he has learnt from being a social entrepreneur.
And this is only the start. Continue to build your students’ enthusiasm and Civics and Citizenship skills in the classroom with free, complementary student and teacher resources. You can find the resources below.
This inquiry-based Civics and Citizenship unit of work was developed by teachers for teachers.
Students will learn how to:
- Identify a problem within their community they would like to change
- Do research to understand their problem
- Evaluate solutions to their problem
- Brainstorm ideas to communicate their solution
- Pitch an idea
This program is designed to address the Victorian Curriculum 2.0 Year 5 and 6 Civics and Citizenship and Critical and Creative Thinking capability. A full outline of the curriculum links is listed in the teacher booklet linked below.
