Event Date
Integrated Action Civics Project
June 10-14, 9:00-Noon, Optional: 1:00-3:00
The Integrated Action Civics Project has developed a unique framework that explicitly introduces students to a variety of civic action concepts and strategies through the study of their History, Ethnic Studies, Environmental Justice and other course content.
In this free, virtual 5-day institute, strategies will be introduced that can be integrated throughout your current curriculum to help students explore their sense of self, understand how power operates in historical and contemporary contexts, analyze the role of stakeholders, and learn about the ways that organizers advocate for and create social change.
Students can apply their learned skills and scaffolds to engage in meaningful, authentic civic action in their communities - either in your course, a different course, or later in their lives. These skills can also help students earn the State Seal of Civic Engagement and deepen engagement with Ethnic Studies concepts of identity, systems of oppression, hope and healing, and resistance and change.
Explore the concepts and strategies in the morning workshops, and collaborate with course-alike colleagues to plan ways to incorporate strategies into your existing courses during the optional afternoon sessions.
