About SCEAA

SCEAA is the Social and Citizenship Education Association of Australia. For more than 40 years, we have been the pre-eminent organisation representing teachers, other educators and academics with an interest in social and citizenship education. This has been done through: 

• Regular webinars about a variety of topics
• A biennial conference that attracts national and international speakers
• The publication of The Social Educator, SCEAA's peer reviewed journal.

Our association advocates for the development of active and informed citizens who act with moral and ethical integrity locally and globally; work to build connections between diverse social, cultural, linguistic and religious groups, particularly Indigenous groups, both within Australia and overseas; and work for the common good to promote sustainable natural and social environments. Our members work for democracy, equity and justice.

Our Purpose

SCEAA's mission is to:

• support, promote and improve the quality of Social and Citizenship Education in Australia
• advance the holistic study of society from social, cultural, political, temporal, spatial and global perspectives
• represent teaching and research in Social and Citizenship Education at all levels and in all types of educational institutions
• advocate for Social and Citizenship Education policy, curriculum and pedagogy
• sponsor and support activities that may assist the teaching of Social and Citizenship Education in Australia.​
