Fixing the 98% Gap: Scaling Civic & Citizenship Ed

Description:

Only 2% of young people have access to civics & citizenship education. One organization alone cannot fix the gap - we need an ecosystem approach. Join us for the public launch of Composer, a new digital platform founded by an unlikely civics and citizenship collaborative. Hear a powerful case study on what happens when content providers put students at the center. The result is a free tool that empowers schools to search, create, and deliver curated content, backed by learning science.
