Building Character through Youth Social Action

Learn about how you can support young people on their social action journey

Youth social action – activities young people do to help others and the environment – is becoming increasingly recognised as a way to improve communities and develop young people’s characters. Educational institutions, businesses, voluntary organisations and governments are investing in social action to provide opportunities to young people of all backgrounds.

On this free MOOC, which last for two weeks and has been developed by the Jubilee Centre for Character and Education, you will explore the historical and theoretical roots of youth social action, and learn how social action can be a journey for young people, helping them build their character and confidence.
