How to Celebrate
Civic Learning Week is an opportunity to celebrate this audacious experiment in self-government we call the United States, and explore our roles in helping to sustain and strengthen our nation’s constitutional democracy.
Civic Learning Week is designed to focus attention on the foundational role civic education has to play in sustaining and strengthening our constitutional democracy. By engaging students, educators, policymakers, and leaders in the public and private sectors, seek to highlight and further energize the movement to prioritize civic education in states and communities across the nation.
For organizations, civic leaders, and community members, this week provides an opportunity to focus in on a subject that doesn’t always get a lot of attention. It’s an opportunity to show your support of civic education both inside the classroom and within our communities, for students and adults alike. It’s an opportunity to model the everyday civic engagement that is essential to the ongoing health and strength of our nation.
