Teaching resources for all phases of education

Young Citizens wants young people to leave education with a grasp of the political, legal and economic functions of society, and with the social and moral awareness to thrive in it. We don't just want schools and colleges to teach citizenship: we also want them to demonstrate citizenship through the way they operate. That is why we provide a high-quality, specialised teaching and learning resources.

The most effective form of learning in citizenship education is:

• active: emphasises learning by doing
• interactive: uses discussion and debate
• relevant: focuses on real-life issues facing young people and society
• critical: encourages young people to think for themselves
• collaborative: employs group work and co-operative learning
• participative: gives young people a say in their own learning

We have developed our teaching and learning materials with these content pillars in mind. Explore how we can help inspire your children. Below is various free teaching resources. However, we do offer various subscription -based programmes that provide a more well-rounded curriculum.
