“BUILDING COMMUNITIES THROUGH CIVICS”
The theme of this year’s Civic Learning Week is “Building Communities Through Civics.” To confront society’s most pressing issues, which include climate change, racial and economic inequality, voting rights, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our democracy must also address the increasing political polarization and loss of trust in our democratic institutions we observe today. To face these challenges, our democracy requires civics education. Civics education provides students with the civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions they need to be champions of democracy who build, strengthen, and sustain their communities.
