Our study explored the impact on adolescents’ learning when given opportunities to create digital texts for a wider audience and engage with social justice issues on a global scale. 

The research positioned adolescents as agents of change as they produced digital texts based on issues identified through the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, such as the impact  of colonialism on Aboriginal people in Canada, residential schools and extreme poverty. They shared their work within the classroom context and on the project website.
