When the coronavirus pandemic forced everyone to rethink civic engagement for our country’s youngest voters, Gen Z sprung into action and found new means through social media and media making. The result: More young people voted in the 2020 elections than ever before.
In this session, you will will hear from educators and teens about how student-driven initiatives helped them make sense of the biggest stories in recent history and learn how to rethink civics education through the power of storytelling. You will also learn how to strengthen student civic engagement and critical thinking in and outside of the classroom, especially around current events.
Available for one-hour of PD credit. A certificate of completion will be available for download at the end of your session that you can submit for your school's or district's approval.
