Welcome
Welcome to the Civics and Citizenship Education website, Australia's pre-eminent civics and citizenship education web portal. This website contains resources, information, activities and links for teachers, students and parents involved in civics and citizenship education. The content on this site is currently undergoing redevelopment.
Civics and citizenship education promotes students' participation in Australia's democracy by equipping them with the knowledge, skills, values and dispositions of active and informed citizenship. It entails knowledge and understanding of Australia's democratic heritage and traditions, its political and legal institutions and the shared values of freedom, tolerance, respect, responsibility and inclusion.
The Civics and Citizenship Education website is sponsored by the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, and maintained by Education Services Australia.
The Civics & Citizenship Education: Professional Learning Package focuses on the citizenship dimension of civics and citizenship.
