How can we help young people see themselves as an active part of civic society?
Current events make it clear that high-quality, skills-based civic education is more important than ever. And we have the power, as educators, to equip our students with the tools they need to make positive change.
Join KQED and Facing History for a hands-on workshop exploring the pivotal role of young people in civic engagement and help them harness the power of audio storytelling to make their voices heard. This supportive, workshop-style session is designed to introduce you to ready-to-use curriculum, audio creation tools, and other materials that can directly support your individual classroom needs.
Participants will walk away with planning tools for student-led civic action projects and receive a Certificate of Completion.
This workshop is most applicable for middle and high school educators.
Captioning will be provided during this workshop. Details for joining the Zoom meeting will be shared by email prior to the event. This event will not be recorded.
We are offering the same workshop on March 1, 2023 from 4 - 6pm EST.
