Active Citizenship
changes consultants have been involved in developing the Take Part Learning Framework for active learning for active citizenship.
It is available to view and/or download – just click here: Take Part framework
The Framework has been designed to:
- bring together current thinking and practice around citizenship learning and adults
- emphasise the link between active learning and active citizenship
- situate ‘citizenship’ within broad political and theoretical contexts
- provide a resource – to use – and add to
It is for learning providers, educationalists, trainers and facilitators, policy makers, funders, community workers and planners who want to:
- support education which strengthens democracy, governance and society
- provide learning opportunities which reach out to people
- take a learner-centred approach
- encourage people to make a difference for themselves and others
- engage more effectively with a wider range of people
The framework was developed by Jill Bedford (changes), Helen Marsh (London Civic Forum) and Dave Wright (Exeter CVS), following a two year pilot, Active Learning for Active Citizenship, funded by the Home Office. IMPACT! Women Active in Community and Public Life – mentioned elsewhere on this website – was the Black Country hub.
