Civic Learning Week: March 11-15, 2024

Making civic learning a nationwide priority for a stronger democracy. More than ever, civic learning is needed to ensure each and every person across this country has the necessary tools to engage as members of our self-governing society.

Civic Learning Week (CLW) is hosted annually by iCivics and seeks to highlight the importance of civic education in sustaining and strengthening constitutional democracy in the United States. By highlighting the civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions that provide the foundation for an informed and engaged populace, CLW seeks to further energize the movement to prioritize civic education across the nation. 

• Educators: Gain and provide insight and inspiration, sharing the latest effective teaching practices and innovations, and joining in shared civic learning opportunities throughout the week.
• Students: Engage in shared civic learning opportunities throughout the week with other students across the nation.
• Community members: Participate in a series of events to highlight the key role different groups (e.g., business leaders, members of the military) play in ensuring high-quality civic education is accessible for each and every student across the nation.

Join us for the National Forum, March 12, and find events across the country! Below are a few events happening during CLW with many, many more at: civiclearningweek.org/events/.
