This study aimed to uncover perceptions of student-initiated active citizenship, from the viewpoints of students and teachers in two Australian primary schools. The study also sought teacher and school staff perceptions of the relevance of student-initiated active citizenship, gaining an indication of how much space teachers feel is in the curriculum for active citizenship opportunities in the upper primary classroom. The findings from this study revealed that students and teachers alike perceived significant benefits from students taking part in active citizenship opportunities. The perceived benefits outweighed the negative aspects and a positive impact was noted on students' mental health, maturity and attainment, among other benefits.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.
