Civitas hosts Issues Roundtables on Saturdays throughout the school year. Students from across the St. Louis region come together to hash out pressing global and local issues in a relaxed but engaging environment.
By putting these packets online, we hope you’ll engage the resources outside of Civitas roundtables. Use them toolkits to build discussions at home, at school, and in your own community. If you’re interested in starting as issues roundtable of your own, let us know–we’d be happy to help you get started!
Full list of packets, arranged by topic:
International Spying & Edward Snowden: Packet includes espionage vocabulary, a list of other nations and descriptions of their intelligence gathering tactics, examples of tools used by spies, article from The Guardian about the U.S.A. spying on the United Nations, 5 key points from Obama’s NSA Speech, news article on U.S. – Germany Intelligence Partnership Faltering, news article on International Law’s Relationship with Peacetime Spying, timeline of Edward Snowden’s life & brief bio, page detailed NSA talking points and terror threats that the agency helped thwart.
More coming soon!
