Teaching Citizenship, Democracy & Participation in Elections
Your Power To Choose is a new integrated education program recently launched by Elections Manitoba to all schools across Manitoba.
The new program:
- Creates life-long learning skills and the habit of participation among Manitoba youth
- Integrates the complete election experience with Manitoba’s grades 6, 9 and 11 Social studies curricula
- Adapts to many classroom and learning levels, particularly grades 4 and 5
- Focuses on interactive learning - students learn how to make informed choices, experience the impact and power of their choice
- Features handouts, worksheets and support materials such as ballot boxes and voting screens
Create the election experience in the classroom
The new program is supported by school workshops hosted by Elections Manitoba, recreating the four phases of the “election experience” in the classroom. Includes:
- Hands-on activities, games and mock election
- Interactive style brings meaning to participation
- Dynamic and flexible - relevant to all learning levels
