Civic Engagement and Democracy (Journeys of the Mind)

Описание: Civic Engagement and Democracy; Getting Students K Through University Involved in Service and Civic Institutions Can Preserve our Democracy (Journeys of the Mind). The host for this show was Carl Ackerman. The guest was Josh Vanek.

The discussion was: Given Josh Vanek’s work as the lead in the Montana Campus Network for Civic Engagement and his status as a former second generation Peace Corps Volunteer, he can tell us a great deal about how to involve people in civic institutions. In these days where democracy is on the line, we need to examine how schools and other institutions can help preserve our devotion to civic space and more specifically to constitutional freedoms.

The takeaway was: We will be exposed to the world of service and community engagement, and learn bout the civic conferences Josh Vanek organizes across the Western Region of the US.
