Please join us in San Antonio, Texas for The Democracy Commitment’s (TDC) 2nd annual national meeting at the Marriott Rivercenter. The meeting begins on Thursday, June 7 and ends with a dinner Saturday evening, June 9.
The theme for this year’s meeting, Civic Engagement 2.0: Re-Imagining, Strengthening and Deepening Our Civic Work, is inspired by web 2.0 applications (e.g., social media, blogs, Wikis) that are not only the next iteration of an existing application, but also facilitate collaboration, information sharing, and user-centered design. The theme poses the following set of questions:
How can we make existing civic education and engagement efforts more student and citizen centered?
What can we do to make ADP and TDC more interactive, participative and discovery driven?
How can we harness new technologies to engage more students and/or to make our teaching and programming more effective?
During our meeting in San Antonio, we will explore innovative ways in which to advance our civic work.
