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.
CivicCampCapping our ideaLAB program is CivicCamp, an unconference for everyone who has an interest in civic and political education. The founding principal of CivicCamp is to bring together various interested groups, including teachers, politicians, activists, NGOs and anyone else, to discuss how we can innovate in our teaching of civics and develop youth in our community who are engaged and find the political arena useful to their lives. The unconference format allows everyone to contribute equally and collectively develop and set of discussion and a plan of action.
Details on our first CivicCamp, CivicCamp2010, along with registration information, will be announced shortly.
