Webinar: Reimagining Civic Education For Equity

The moment in which we are all living has exposed us to just how fragile our civic institutions are, and to the deep-rooted inequities that run through them. Now is a vital time to reflect on how to build high quality civic education for all students, one that focuses on real-world issues and engagement and fosters in students the desire and skills to be change agents in their communities and our collective society.

In this lively panel conversation with civic education leaders from across the country, we will share recent findings from the Civics and Equity Initiative listening tours and the report the State of Civic Education in Massachusetts and discuss community-based and policy pathways for creating equitable, engaging civic learning opportunities.
