What does Democracy in Dialogue look like through the eyes and stories of youth participants? In this dynamic panel, students from diverse communities across the country discuss their journey of discovery and collaboration. We will explore how the program empowered students to take ownership of their own narratives while learning to listen deeply to others. This conversation offers a powerful testament to the capacity of youth to lead the way in telling their local stories and bridging national divides. Leave with ideas for how you could incorporate dialogue-driven, student-led civic engagement into your own educational environment.
