Build Civics Skills with Educational Media for the Classroom

Mar 5, 2025

1:00pm – 2:00pm CT

In a time of political polarization, rampant misinformation, and diminished ability or desire to civilly navigate disagreement and discourse, how can we pave the road to democracy that runs through the classroom? Join educators and media designers as they discuss how innovative media and educational tools effectively support the next generation in growing their civic knowledge, fostering critical thinking skills, analyzing multiple perspectives past and present, and engaging in civil discourse and civic action.

This is an accredited session for CPE credit.
