Live Stream Invitation Template - For Democracy's Future ...



Dear ____,

 

On January 10th, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM EST, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, other senior Obama Administration officials and civic education, government, business and philanthropy leaders will participate in a national convening at the White House – “For Democracy’s Future: Education Reclaims Our Civic Mission.” This event will bring together higher education and K-12 leaders as well as policymakers and stakeholders to discuss the importance of civic learning and engagement in democracy for the 21st century.

The event is being live streamed at live, and we invite you to participate by viewing it online. We encourage you to:

• tune in on January 10;

• invite others to join you, organize their own event, or watch on their own; and

• use this occasion to renew and announce your commitments to educating students for citizenship.

Attached please find the event agenda and an optional discussion guide to help facilitate a conversation during the “breakout” portion of the agenda. These materials can also be found at civic-learning.

 

For Democracy’s Future will mark the release of A Crucible Moment: College Learning and Democracy’s Future, a new report to the Department of Education from leading civic scholars and practitioners. The event will also highlight the new American Commonwealth Partnership, which aims to bring together thousands of universities, colleges, community colleges, schools and other civic partners to promote civic education, civic mission and civic identity throughout all of education in the United States. In addition, the Department of Education will release a document titled Civic Learning and Engagement in Democracy: A Road Map and Call to Action.
