Civic Saturdays
A powerful new gathering that helps us make sense of today's challenges
Civic Saturday gatherings are one-part conversation, one-part civics book club and one-part celebration, all focused on inspiring a renewed sense shared civic purpose and culture. In the conversation part, we will break into small groups and respectfully grapple with meaningful issues. In the book club part, we will listen to civic texts from past and present and reflect on their meaning to our community today. Throughout, we will come together in joyous celebration and share food, music and social time together. Before we leave, we’ll take time to create new connections in the community that will help us to implement the ideas we take away from the gathering.
Everyone welcome!
Nonpartisan, free and open to all.
Civic Saturdays were conceived of by Citizen University, a Seattle non-profit whose mission is to build a culture of powerful, responsible citizenship across the country. Civic Saturdays in Evanston are affiliated with Open Democracy Evanston, a non-profit dedicated to exploring and implementing new ways to increase civic engagement.
