AusPol101
Schools-based civics education programs have failed to equip young people with the tools, knowledge and experience that promote and encourage active citizenship. Young people feel ill-equipped to participate in the political process and aren't taught the knowledge or skills to confidently participate in our political process.
AusPol101 is an accessible and engaging resource for young people to learn about the fundamentals of Australian politics, encouraging active and informed political participation.
