Past Program

Democracy is stagnating or declining in many parts of the world and conflict is increasing. The spread of misinformation continues to rise, leading to an erosion of trust, which was particularly egregious during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many societies and communities are becoming increasingly polarized and fractured, with new fault lines emerging along identity lines.

In November 2023, the hybrid program Civic and Civil Education: Identity, Belonging and Education in the 21st Century has built new insights and aggregated perspectives and experiences from relevant sectors, areas of expertise, and regions to rethink the role education can play in supporting citizens with the skills and behaviors to thrive and live harmoniously in our complex 21st century societies.

This will be the first post-program online meeting. It will be centering the discussions around personal and working group updates, as well as outlining the next steps to take.
