OMI’s Civics and Citizenship Workshops improve your community’s understanding of Australia’s political system, citizenship rights and responsibilities, and explain how you can get involved in government decision-making processes.
The workshops are held in partnership with the Constitutional Centre of Western Australia, Electoral Education Centre and Australia Day WA.
The workshops will give you and your community the knowledge, understanding and skills to fully participate in civic life as active citizens in Australian society.
What’s included
The workshops cover a range of topics including:
- how to enrol to vote and how to become a candidate for election
- how Australian and Western Australian Parliamentary systems work and how laws are made
- the Australian Constitution
- who Australia’s main political parties are
- how to make your voice heard and make your vote count.
