How can I be a changemaker in my community?

This 12-lesson Year 10 GCSE scheme of work enables learners to plan, carry out and evaluate an active citizenship project addressing an issue in their community.
Learners identify community issues, develop active citizenship skills and select an appropriate focus before undertaking primary and secondary research. They consider safeguarding, different viewpoints, appropriate methods for action and potential barriers before implementing their project. Learners then evaluate its success, communicate their findings and consider how their work could achieve lasting impact.
The scheme provides a practical application of citizenship knowledge and develops research, teamwork, advocacy and evaluation skills.
