Passport to Democracy

Passport to Democracy is the VEC's dynamic, interactive and fully resourced program for secondary students.

The program takes students on a journey of their own creation, drawing on their concerns and issues to make the connection between politics and the things that are important to them. It prompts students to consider how they can make an impact on issues they care about and ultimately, how they can engage with the community to achieve positive change.

"Passport to Democracy gave participating students a better understanding of the democratic process, their role in shaping society and helped to demystify political processes and institutions. They were able to see how decisions that affected them were made."
