Civics and citizenship

Become a better New Zealand citizen! A comedy video and podcast civics series that tackles NZ history and issues. (Made with the support of NZ On Air.)

In the first season of The Citizen's Handbook, Robbie Nicol taught the youth of Aotearoa how our country works. Now he's back to teach them how to help make it a better place.

The Rights: Now! level 2–3 education resource provides a great introduction to develop an understanding and practical application of children’s rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (the Children’s Convention). This resource has a specific focus on a child’s right to have their say, participate and be heard on issues that affect them.

This teaching and learning guide supports primary and secondary school teachers to develop their understanding and practice in relation to effective civics and citizenship education in Aotearoa New Zealand.
