Citizenship in the curriculum

Much of young people's education for citizenship can take place through learning and teaching within specific curricular areas and subjects through the stages from 3-18.

All teachers and early education practitioners have a role to play in education for citizenship. They may do this through:

• making explicit links between their subject area and citizenship issues
• making connections between apparently disparate areas of study and young people's social and community experience, and
• their relationships with young people and readiness to listen to and take account of young people's views.
