In today's complex and interconnected world, the practice of civil discourse is more crucial than ever. As it becomes easier to focus on what we disagree about, can we use America’s 250th birthday to find a path back to celebrating what we have in common?

Join us for an exploration of how to empower students to become informed, engaged citizens, ready to navigate the challenges and opportunities of our time. Examine practical approaches to integrate civil discourse into the curriculum, providing students with the skills and confidence to participate meaningfully in our democracy. Together let’s celebrate the importance of discourse to equip students to analyze complex issues, evaluate diverse perspectives, and engage in constructive dialogue, laying the foundation for a stronger society.
