As educators, you recognise the impact young people can have in creating change in the world. All they need is a platform or an opportunity to be heard.
After students explore The Australian Dream educational resources and learn about Adam Goodes’s story, it’s important they share what’s in their hearts and minds as young people living in Australia.
It’s healing for students and our nation to have a safe space for expression.
Create a safe space where students can express their thoughts, feelings, opinions and ideas around the key themes in the resources in a respectful way. Encourage students to express what’s in their hearts and what matters to them as young people living in this country.
Regardless of their age, background and experiences, their discussions in class and with their classmates may bring up emotions for them, even if they’re not entirely aware of them.
