About the event

The Voice Referendum in 2023 presented an opportunity to teach students about:

• democracy and democratic representation
• referendums and the Australian constitution
• the responsibility of citizens to vote

This event, held simultaneously at the University of Technology Sydney and live on Zoom, focused on effective teaching strategies that can invite students to have robust, respectful and constructive explorations and discussions of the referendum. With the failure of the referendum, these strategies can now be used to support students to reflect on the process and and implications going forward.
