Citizenship Foundation celebrates its 20th Birthday! Monday, 30th November 2009

In the 20 years since its establishment, the Citizenship Foundation has been an innovator in its field, making citizenship education accessible and relevant to hundreds of thousands of young people.

The Citizenship Foundation has progressed enormously since it was founded with the support of the Law Society Charity, among others. The work of the Foundation reaches approximately 60,000 young people a year, and we have continued to innovate ways of delivering citizenship education and opportunities for positive social engagement.

While proud of our achievements, we have no desire to rest on our laurels as we are brimming with ideas and enthusiasm for the future. Lawyers in Schools is already at the forefront of Public Legal Education in the UK, and as this area develops, we will continue to develop best practices for teaching the law to young people, pioneer new teaching models and activities, and bring our exciting project to ever more students nationally and internationally.

To celebrate our 20th year we are publishing blogs and videos giving an insight into the thoughts of the Citizenship Foundation staff. To view these videos and participate in the discussions please click here.
