As debates around civic education intensify, educators remain essential in helping students understand democratic principles and engage thoughtfully with the world around them. This webinar will equip teachers with tools to confidently guide students through challenging conversations and strengthen democratic habits in the classroom.
Participants will explore teaching materials from the Woven Foundation’s Defending Democracy: Lessons for Building Resilience and Taking Action, a curriculum inspired by Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny. These resources offer practical, adaptable strategies to help students recognize threats to democratic norms and identify constructive ways to respond.
Join us for an evening of insight, ready-to-use materials, and support for educators committed to fostering informed, empowered young citizens.
Suggested donation of $20.
