Welcome to the 2nd Annual Massachusetts Civic Learning Week (March 7-11, 2022)!
Massachusetts Civic Learning Week seeks to empower all of us to see ourselves as participants and changemakers in our democracy. The week’s events will highlight the voices of youth and teachers.
The theme of this year’s Civic Learning Week is “Building Communities Through Civics.” To confront society’s most pressing issues, our democracy must also address the increasing political polarization and loss of trust in our democratic institutions we observe today. To face these challenges, our democracy requires civics education. Civics education provides students with the civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions they need to be champions of democracy who build, strengthen, and sustain their communities.
