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.

    Learning

    MoAD Learning draws from Australia's rich political and social history to explore our continued connection to Old Parliament House, as well as contemporary issues and topics relevant to young people. 

    Driven by an inquiry approach and critical reflection, MoAD Learning looks to empower young people by honouring their voice in conversations that develop informed, active, and engaged citizens.

    At its core is the importance of lived experience, immersion, understanding, identity, and broad perspectives. MoAD Learning aspires to grow the museum as a leading civics and citizenship institution providing safe opportunities for deep engagement in a variety of contexts, through the ideas and practices of Australian democracy and student agency.
