We all know that the young people of today shape the world of tomorrow. At Oxfam, we believe that when supported to become active citizens, young people can be an effective force for social change, equity and justice – now and in the future.
Oxfam works to empower young Australians to be active global citizens, able to contribute to reducing poverty and injustice, including inequalities, in education around the world.
Oxfam offers a range of resources for teachers and students to explore issues surrounding poverty and justice, as well as ways in which they can make a difference that’s meaningful to them. These education resources help young people understand their world and the role they can play in it to create real and lasting change.
Classroom resources
Oxfam has a range of innovative resources for teachers and students to explore issues surrounding poverty, justice and global active citizenship in ways that are relevant and appealing.
3things, Oxfam’s youth movement
3things schools program, Class of Change, offers opportunities for secondary students to think and behave as ethical global citizens through linking with other students, learning about issues, asking questions and taking actions.
Featured resource: Close the Gap student kit
Our Close the Gap student kit has been developed to help all Australian schools get involved and actively participate in National Close the Gap Day. The kit will help students raise awareness about the 17-year life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
