3 Hopefully, ‘work experience’ did not appear on anyone’s list of key words. Why do some schools claim that work experience (and public service activities, and work shadowing, and litter picking etc) constitute ‘active citizenship'? Leighton, R. 2011.

4 What opportunities exist for active citizenship 1. In a citizenship classroom? 2. In a science laboratory? 3. In a music room? 4. During form time? 5. In school in November/December? Leighton, R. 2011. Teaching Citizenship Education Continuum: London

5 Are pupils ‘active citizens’ if they don’t know that what they are doing is active citizenship? Does it matter? Leighton, R. 2011. Teaching Citizenship Education Continuum: London
