Civic Engagement for a Global World

Civic Engagement for a Global World

Fostering global competency in students is essential in today’s interconnected world. This is why iCivics has teamed up with Global Cities to host a two-part workshop series that explores new ways to connect local civic engagement to global topics and impacts while elevating your existing teaching curriculum. Stipends are available to participating teachers upon completion of at least one workshop. 

This workshop series, which takes place Oct. 7 and 8, equips you with the tools and strategies to foster your students’ capacity to advocate for and contribute to local, regional, or global improvement.
