Civic Learning Week: Many Voices, One Nation

Civic Learning Week is more than just a national event—it’s a call to action for individuals, educators, and communities to invest in the future of democracy. As our society faces increasingly complex challenges, civic education serves as the cornerstone for equipping citizens with the tools they need to engage thoughtfully in the democratic process. From March 10-14, Civics will lead this annual initiative, uniting advocates and organizations nationwide in celebration of civic learning. This year’s theme, Civic Learning: Many Voices, One Nation, celebrates the importance of pluralism and explores how diverse perspectives contribute to a stronger, more inclusive democracy.

Civic Learning Week emphasizes the foundational role of civic education in preparing an informed and engaged populace. It’s not just about knowing how the government works—it’s about fostering the skills and values necessary for active participation in democratic life. By providing resources, hosting discussions, and highlighting innovative programs, CLW inspires communities to champion civic education and its transformative power. 
The centerpiece of this year’s celebration is the National Forum, held on March 13 at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. Featuring plenary sessions on pluralistic civic education and leadership strategies, the Forum will showcase innovative practices and highlight the importance of uniting communities through civic learning. Attendees can look forward to a full day of engaging programming, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., followed by a networking reception from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. If you can’t attend in person, register for the livestream or catch the highlights online here.

Whether you’re an educator looking for fresh resources, a student eager to learn, or a community leader ready to spark dialogue, CLW offers countless opportunities to engage.
