Teaching resources that inspire and shape young people
Young Citizens wants all young people to leave education understanding how society works – from politics to the law, the economy, the environment and human rights – in the UK and globally.
Citizenship gives them the skills to navigate our complex society, from digital literacy, advocacy and oracy, to critical thinking, overcoming differences and confidence to take part.
That’s why we provide high-quality, adaptable, award-winning teaching resource packs.
