Citizenship Education

Democracy thrives on informed citizens. With billions across the globe casting votes in 2024, the role of Citizenship education has never been more crucial. But the landscape is rapidly changing. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming everything from transportation to newsfeeds. This begs the question: how can we prepare our students to navigate this new digital world and become responsible, engaged citizens in the age of AI?
