The Ten Questions for Young Changemakers Project at Harvard is inviting high school/junior high school teachers to our Ten Questions Teacher Leader Program. The Ten Questions are designed to help young people cultivate successful—equitable, effective, and self-protective—civic agency in a digital age. You can fold the framework into a variety of approaches to civics education, such as political discussion, media production, history lessons, digital storytelling, youth participatory action research, action civics, and research projects.
When/Where We Will Meet
- Session I will be held on Saturday, February 10, 2017, from 9:15 am to 2:15 pm at Harvard University (Bowie-Vernon Room (K262), CGIS Knafel Building, 1737 Cambridge St., Cambridge, MA 02138).
Who Will Be There?
- Professor Danielle Allen (Harvard), Adam Strom (Director, The Reimagining Migration Project), Chaebong Nam (postdoc at Harvard), and returning teacher leaders.
