Program to Cultivate Habits of Civil Dialogue
Just in time for National Constitution Day (September 17), the National Constitution Center has a new initiative for constitutional education and civil dialogue. Through the Center’s Classroom Exchanges program, teachers engage students in dialogue and deepen their constitutional knowledge. Teachers can register their class to discuss a relevant constitutional question with another classroom somewhere else in the United States. The National Constitution Center facilitates these civil dialogues by providing instructional materials, pairing classrooms, connecting them with an expert moderator, and setting up videoconferencing sessions. The exchanges provide a platform for uniting students of different backgrounds and perspectives, and increasing students’ constitutional knowledge while cultivating habits for civil dialogue.
