Why?
Civic education is needed more than ever to provide each and every person across this country with the necessary tools to engage as members of our self-governing society. We know that the best civic learning happens both in and outside of the classroom, and is a lifelong endeavor touching every facet of society. Civic Learning Week brings together students, educators, policymakers, and leaders in the public and private sectors to highlight the need to make that learning a priority.
2023 marks the first year that Civic Learning Week is a national event, building on the success of the collaboration across three states by the Massachusetts Civic Learning Coalition (MCLC), New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) and Rhode Island Civic Learning Coalition (RICLC) in 2022. This multi-state collaboration hosted events that prompted participation by 20,000 students, teachers, and others.
