The Museum of Australian Democracy acknowledges the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.

The museum respectfully acknowledges the role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to play in shaping Australia’s democracy.

    2021 Appeal: keep students connected through MoAD’s Digital Democracy Excursions

    At a time of global upheaval, equipping students with an understanding of our nation’s unique democracy and the skills to participate in it has never been more important.

    With COVID-19 causing travel restrictions and financial pressures for many communities, the vast majority of Australia’s students and teachers are unable to travel to MoAD for our onsite education programs.

    MoAD’s Digital Democracy Excursions brings Old Parliament House directly into the classroom. In real time, Museum Educators guide students through the building, with students participating in role-play, activities and discussions about Australia’s democratic process. 

    We need your support to deliver these programs free of charge to regional and remote schools across the country.

    Help us keep these programs free for students, donate today.

    Your donation of:

    • $25 helps 5 students take part in a digital excursion
    • $50 supports an entire class to participate in a digital excursion
    • $100 delivers a bespoke digital classroom experience for specific school needs
    • $500 helps upgrade equipment in our Digital Studio to reach more students, particularly in regional and remote areas of Australia

    Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.  MoAD holds deductible gift recipient (DGR) status.

    Donate now
