From governance engagement in education to civic engagement in adult life
Engagement in governance at the level of education has a significant impact on students, for whom school is a training ground for later functioning in society. Engaging young people at early stages gives them a sense of agency and translates into civic engagement in adult life.
How do young people benefit from civic engagement?
- Better academic achievement
