The Changemaker Citizen Program
Transforming South Africa's Future with Citizenship Education
The Changmaker Citizen Program is an interactive program that uses engaging activities like storytelling, games and events, in schools and communities, to foster responsible citizenship.
The Program offers a tailored version to support Primary Schools with quality citizenship education integrated into Life Orientation lessons. It boosts participants’ Changemaker and collaboration skills, fostering personal growth and equipping them with the abilities to significantly contribute to society through:
- Education: Offering resources and activities that boost awareness of environmental sustainability and social responsibility;
- Community Engagement: Getting participants involved in sustainability and social impact projects;
- Advocacy: Empowering participants to seek policy changes at local and national levels for sustainable development;
- Skills Development: Providing training to empower participants to make positive changes in their communities; and
- Networking: Connecting participants with organisations to promote collaboration and amplify collective impact.
The Changemaker Citizen Program has a complementary Xchange Program version, in partnership with Sharing Our Ubuntu Legacy Western Cape Trust, to ensure that schools in under-resourced areas have access to the Program too.
