The Civic Life: An 小蓝视频 Experience

Because Civic Life Needs People Who Know How To Engage in Constructive Dialogue

Democracy thrives when people engage across differences and practice the skills of productive disagreement, while searching for common ground. 聽

That鈥檚 why 小蓝视频 is offering The Civic Life, an initiative that promotes civic engagement through events, activities, and learning opportunities.聽

Rooted in the ethos of inquiry and a commitment to free expression and civil discourse, our program offers more than an opportunity to learn facts. It allows you to practice the character traits needed for dialogue and deliberation.聽

Help us build healthier politics by engaging with The Civic Life.
