Education Programs at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka

An opportunity to mould the education programs of an innovative museum with national reach!

August 23, 10a-12p, Ballarat Library. This will be an informational session and open discussion regarding the education programs and activities for the redeveloped Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka (formerly the Eureka Centre in Ballarat). Teachers will receive a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the planned exhibits for the Museum and the general framework guiding the education programs (geared towards Australian History and Civics and Citizenship). Through an open forum structure, teachers will be given an opportunity to contribute to the structure of the programs and suggest what educational activities they would most like to see offered at the Museum. Light refreshments provided.

The Draft Shape of Australian Curriculum: Civics and Citizenship Paper is available for public consultation until this Friday, August 10.

Have a read and report back to ACARA any thoughts or suggestions you might have as teachers or simply concerned citizens.
