Civic Learning Week
Call for Session Proposals
"Liberty and Learning: Civic Education at 250," the Civic Learning Week National Forum, will be hosted in Philadelphia from March 9-10, 2026.
This in-person event will showcase effective and evidence-based examples of pluralistic civic learning in practice.
In 2026, the Forum is expanding to incorporate more educator programming as it explores key topics related to civic education and the leadership needed to make high-quality civic learning a nationwide priority. The deadline to submit proposals is September 26, 2026.
Mission & Purpose
Our mission is to promote and support the people of Washington in becoming more knowledgeable and engaged lifelong participants in democracy.
To do that, we advocate for high quality civic education and engagement, and we prioritize civic learning opportunities for underserved youth — especially youth of color, immigrant and refugee youth, and youth in rural and under-resourced communities.
