Meaningful participation and engagement in Civics and Citizenship classes

Strengthening democracy and addressing declining civic knowledge.

How can we best equip students to be engaged by and meaningfully participate in our democracy? Strengthening experiential civic education provides one practical pathway to building trust and democratic knowledge. This webinar will explore what we know about experiential civic education for students, what we need to know, and how we can support existing offerings for students.
