Check out our new options to bring digital experiences to students!
Civitas-on-the-go brings the same fun and engaging activities that we provide for free on Saturdays into your classroom. Some of the experiences we offer include:
- A simulation of a city council, highlighting local issues and conflicts in communities
- Role playing a Think Tank on what to do about North Korea
- A workshop on detecting media manipulation and fake news
- An introduction to breaking down the complications and history of the American health care system
- A Socratic Seminar on a specific current event you request
- A lesson on explaining the Electoral College and other challenges to Democracy
- A look at the differences between Democrats and Republicans and the challenges for other political parties in the United States
- Street polling on a topic your students are interested in or on what’s happening in St. Louis
- Model United Nations mini-session
- Presentations or simulations tailored to topics you choose
We also have local presenters and experts we can arrange to come speak to students in your school from a variety of backgrounds including representatives from the ACLU, MIRA, local media, Just Moms STL, law enforcement agencies, and the Missouri Coalition for the Environment. If there’s an agency/organization you want to connect with or an issue you’d like your students to learn more about, we can help find an engaging speaker.
