Event
The Foundation for a More Involved Australia
In this video, Jonathan Shack dives into a critical conversation about the state of civic engagement in Australia, especially in the middle of the country. The knowledge of civics, the political process, and the way governments function is something that often feels distant to many. So, how do we bring these discussions to the forefront, not just in the heat of an election campaign but in everyday conversations? How do we get people to recognise how policies are affecting them, both now and in the long term?
The key, as he see it, lies in education and mindset. Too often, we’re missing the opportunity to teach young people about civics, about how the political system works, and the impact they can have as individuals and as a collective. If we don’t start addressing these gaps, the disengagement will only deepen. So, let’s talk about why it’s vital we rethink how we educate the next generation on these fundamental life skills.
