Curriki is holding a free webinar – “Civil Discourse in a Republic: Using Historical Context to Discuss the Importance of Civility” – Wed., Sept. 12, at 3 PM ET, to help you use historical context to discuss the importance of civility in republican self-government.
This webinar is definitely worth your time. It will discuss the importance of civil discourse to the health of a republic, and provide teachers with tools to foster civil discourse in your classrooms. We think you’ll agree it’s a great opportunity, especially with National Constitution Day only a week away.
We’ll explore how the United States would look if our elected officials, media personalities, and average people practiced good civil discourse. What if we spent our time trying to understand all sides of an issue, rather than force our own agenda? Would the United States be more accepting? More encouraging? More productive?
Why It Matters
Civil discourse and civility are essential for the success of self-government. Without the ability to engage in meaningful public discourse, a republic soon becomes unstable, guided by mere passion with no room or time for reason. This edWebinar will discuss the importance of civil discourse to the health of a republic and provide teachers with tools to foster civil discourse in their classrooms.
