"Bridging Heroes in the Prohuman Classroom" is a panel discussion featuring innovative civics educators aiming to inspire young bridge builders and foster a sense of shared humanity in classrooms. Moderated by Kent Lenci and joined by NCDD members - Living Room Conversations and AllSides, the event aims to address the prevalent demonization and division in society by equipping students with skills to collaborate across perspectives.
