Community Engagement
Our schools are an integral part of our wider
communities. Since our inception, Facing History has been reaching out
to those wider communities-providing occasions to study the past,
explore new ideas and approaches, and develop practical models for
civic engagement that link history to the challenges of an increasingly
interconnected world of choices.
Community Conversations
Facing History and Ourselves and The Allstate Foundation present a series of community-wide dialogues across the U.S.. Prominent scholars, authors, filmmakers and policy leaders speak and participate in discussions about civic engagement, individual and collective responsibility, and tolerance.
Choosing to Participate
One of our major community outreach efforts over the past year has been the Choosing to Participate (CTP) initiative. CTP includes an exhibition, a study guide and community programs that highlight stories that illuminate the power of individual civic choices-decisions that people make everyday about others in their community and nation. The CTP exhibit invites people of all ages to explore the relationship between the individual and society, to think about how we connect ourselves to others, and to relate the past to the present.
