The focus of the Your Voice Your Choice resource is on connecting the voting system to learners' own lives to deepen their understanding about how New Zealand's system of government operates. It encourages learners to consider how they themselves can participate in the system, through critical thinking around individual and community issues.
This workshop will provide an opportunity to get to know the resource through interaction and space for deliberate future planning. You will be encouraged to adapt the sequence of learning activities to meet the specific needs and experiences of your learners. There will also be plenty of opportunity to discuss how it can be used as a literacy tool. There has never been a better time to start engaging with our learners in the area of civics education.
