Welcome to the FED Learners Council application!

We’re so glad you’re here. This form is your chance to tell us a bit about you, your experiences, and what matters to you in education. There are no right or wrong answers. We’re not looking for perfect spelling or fancy words, just your honest voice. Whether you loved learning, struggled with it, or stepped away for a while, your story matters and can help shape a better future for everyone. Take your time, be yourself, and know that your perspective is valued and needed.

We have a main application window each year, but you can also submit your application at any time throughout the year. We review applications on a rolling basis and will be in touch as soon as we can.  If you have any questions, or you need help to apply, just email [email protected] and a member of the FED team will get back to you as soon as they can.

“Your experiences, needs, and perspectives on education make you an expert with valuable contributions about the future development of learning in this country. The FED Learners Council is a supportive and inclusive space that amplifies the learner voice about education, and we would love for you to be a part of it. Good luck with your application!”

Naomi Blackmore, FED Learners Council Co-Chair

“Plant yourself where your voice can grow. With us, you’ll be heard, valued and empowered to shape the future of education. Stay ready, stay passionate and best of luck with your application.”

Rochelle Wong, FED Learners Council Co-Chair
