Democracy in a Box is a free, reusable toolkit filled with civics learning resources designed for students in years 5 and 6. @barriecassidy talks about it at today’s launch. Listen from 12.07:

One week since I joined @Tony_Burke, @barriecassidy, Dr. Kate Armstrong, and Genevieve Lacey to discuss 'Interpreting Democracy' at OPH. I shared how art can spark conversation, hold the powerful to account, encourage civic engagement, and amplify diverse voices in a democracy ✏️
