If we want all young people to grow up feeling a sense of belonging, community, and agency, we need to change how we approach civic education. This panel will discuss the emerging model of learning ecosystems, in which schools, museums, and community institutions collaborate to create real-world learning experiences that not only provide students with essential skills for employment, but make them feel included and inspired to become active change makers.
