SUMMARY:National Forum on Civic Learning
DESCRIPTION:The 2027 National Forum will explore how rapidly evolving technologies\, including artificial intelligence\, are reshaping civic learning and participation in our increasingly digital democracy. Bringing together leading researchers\, civic leaders\, educators\, and students\, the forum will examine what high-quality\, pluralistic civic education looks like in an digitally mediated society and the leadership needed to make civic learning a national priority.
