Exploring Civics through Historic Spaces: A Model for Civic Learning at Museums, Historic Sites, and Cultural Institutions

About this Activity

Funded by the Educating for American Democracy (EAD) Initiative, Exploring Civics through Historic Spaces is a model for collaboration between an individual school and a local historic site or museum. It is designed as a cost-efficient model that leverages local resources, expertise and history to make civics more tangible and relevant to students. The goal is to enhance civic learning, integrate content knowledge, and explore a real-world application of lessons learned to prepare future generations for engaged citizenship as participants in our democracy.
