Civic Learning Week is back! Session registration is now open.

The theme this year is Liberty and Learning: Civic Education at the 250th Anniversary. We’re very excited to bring together students, educators, policymakers, and local leaders to further energize this movement. As in past years, MCLC will host Massachusetts-focused events while National Civic Learning Week hosts events on the national stage.

About Civic Learning Week

Civic Learning Week (CLW) is hosted annually and seeks to highlight the importance of civic education in sustaining and strengthening constitutional democracy in the United States.

By highlighting the civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions that provide the foundation for an informed and engaged populace, CLW seeks to further energize the movement to prioritize civic education across the nation.
