The informational meeting is scheduled for **Saturday, October 21, 2017 at Harvard University** (Bowie-Vernon Room (K262), CGIS Knafel Building, 1737 Cambridge St., Cambridge, MA 02138). Our focus is simple. We want to make civic education great again. The [Ten Questions for Changemakers](/) framework, we believe, can be a useful pedagogic tool to achieve that purpose. The Ten Questions are designed to help young people develop successful—equitable, effective, and self-protective—civic agency in a digital age. They can be applied not only to a variety of action-oriented projects, but also to debate, history analysis, and digital storytelling. You can review an outline of the program below. #### **Who Are Eligible** - High school teachers who teach government, civics, history, English, and other social studies related subjects. #### **What We Hope You Will Do** - Learn more about Ten Questions for Changemakers and related educational resources. - Try the Ten Questions in your classroom and share what worked or did not work with a group. - Develop a learning module based on the Ten Questions (see the [Teaching Guide](/teaching-guide-ten-questions)). #### **When/Where You Will Meet with Other Teachers** - Our team plans to convene **three in-person meetings** from **October 2017 to June 2018.** - The informational meeting will be held on **Saturday, October 21, 2017, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at Harvard University** (Bowie-Vernon Room (K262), CGIS Knafel Building, 1737 Cambridge St., Cambridge, MA 02138).
