CivXNow invites Coalition members to submit proposals for a featured activity during Civic Learning Week. This year’s theme is Civic Learning as a Unifying Force Beyond 2024 and two to three events or activities will be featured each day during the week of March 11-15, 2024.
The criteria for a featured activity to be considered for Civic Learning Week includes:
- K-12 civic learning focused: Does the activity/event focus on K-12 civic learning?
- Non-partisan: Does the activity/event avoid partisan or ideological bias? Does it promote viewpoint diversity?
- Value: Is the event free?
We are also seeking representation from organizations that embody each of the civic superpowers including:
- Amplifiers – An Amplifier’s work is highlighted by their skills in amplifying a message (through social media, traditional media, or other means) that ensures all young people have access to powerful civic learning.
- Connectors – A Connector’s work is highlighted by their dedication to building partnerships and engaging in thought leadership to elevate the field and enhance the civic learning conversation.
- Nurturers – A Nurturer’s work is highlighted by their ability to create resources–educational or otherwise–that empower others (educators, community members, etc.) to engage in more powerful civic learning.
- Defenders – A Defender’s work is highlighted by bi-partisan advocacy at the local, state, and/or national level to affect the conditions that make civic learning more likely.
- Fact Finders – A Fact Finder’s work is highlighted through a deeper examination of civic or historical issues through research or cultural institution exhibits that examine issues more deeply.
Proposals are due by January 4, 2024 and will be reviewed by the Coalition Advisory Committee. Organizations selected for a featured activity will be notified by January 18, 2024 and receive support with promotional efforts.
