TVO Docs | From Classrooms to City Halls: Inspiring Young Leaders | Episode 2 | Unrigged | A TVO Original @tvo | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
To foster a culture of participation, we must provide an intuitive understanding of how the system works, showing that anyone, even young people, can take a leading role. Imagine trying to excite kids about baseball but placing them in a class called "Sphere Contact and Diamond Circumnavigation", where they memorise obscure game scores from the 1960s. Ridiculous, right? Yet, this reflects the current state of civics education in Canada. To empower youth with the tools to find their voice and effect change, we need a fresh approach. In this episode, we delve into Edmonton’s City Hall School and Ottawa’s Synapcity initiatives, showcasing how practical and engaging civic education can inspire active participation and leadership. By making civics accessible and exciting, we can equip the next generation to shape the world around them. Join us as we uncover innovative methods to transform civic education and inspire young leaders.
