Askwith Education Forum: A Civic Rite of Passage for Every Young Person?
Join us for a conversation about creating meaningful civic experiences and rites of passage, from childhood through adulthood, that prepare young people for lifelong democratic engagement. We’ll explore innovative approaches — including the American Exchange Project, the nation’s first domestic exchange program — that help young people bridge differences, understand the communities that make up our country, and see themselves as active participants in our shared democratic future.
Moderator: Rob Watson, lecturer and executive director of The EdRedesign Lab
Speakers: Danielle Allen, Allonah Ashworth, David McCullough III, and Jessica Osei.
