The Civics Education Network is dedicated to improving political education in Ontario by supporting teachers and students of civics and politics across the province. Our programming is designed to support the excellent work already being done in our public schools.
About Us
The Civics Education Network was founded in 2007 as a non-profit organization with the goal of improving political education in Ontario through our schools. Our mandate is to:
- Provide professional development for teachers of civics and politics.
- Develop resources for teachers.
- Create links between governments, communities and schools.
- Create meaningful hands-on experiences for students.
- Celebrate the achievements of youth in the area of civic engagement
Starting with this mandate, we rapidly developed a collection of programs which are focused on supporting teachers and students. Our programs are all based on the idea that the young citizens sitting in our classrooms are full members of our community and are eager to become engaged with their local communities. We need only to find ways to harness their bondless energies to achieve remarkable things.
