“…This included a broad remit of knowledge, processes and skills required for community and civic engagement in order to: advocate for change, influence and educate others, raise awareness and communicate information and ideas, and lobby those in power. Similar to findings from citizenship education research in England (Hampden-Thompson et al, 2015), we also found that while students occasionally had picked up some civic engagement skills from extra-curricular encounters, these had rarely been the focus of school learning. In our study, an even more concerted effort was needed to nurture such skills with young people from low income communities who often had fewer prior civic experiences (Kahne & Middaugh, 2009) and frequently lower levels of political efficacy.…”

“…Our research interest was whether students' social action within this initiative had the potential to be critical and transformative. Prior international research has highlighted the tendency for participatory youth initiatives to occur within community and after-school programmes and only much more rarely within the formal classroom curricula in mainstream schooling (Hampden-Thompson et al, 2015;Levinson, 2012;Rubin, Ayala, & Zaal, 2017). When integration in mainstream schooling does occur, school-based programmes to stick to 'safe ', 'acceptable' and 'minimal' (McLaughlin, 1992) forms of civic action, such as 'fundraising, fasting and having fun' (Bryan, 2011), recycling, planting trees or supporting established community organisations (such as a Foodbank).…”

“…However, the existence of infrastructure and facilities that help them in carrying out their roles need to be consideration in implementing roles and responsibilities. Based on the findings of a national survey of school coordinators and leaders on citizenship and community cohesion, the results of the study showed that teachers analyze their students skills for effective participation (Hampden-Thompson et al, 2015). Students act as intellectuals with the ability to realize their knowledge in the society.…”
