Mission Statement:
The Participating
in Democracy project is a coalition of educational institutions
and community organizations, led by Cedar Crest College in Allentown,
Pennsylvania, dedicated to the reaffirmation and enrichment of the
principles of autonomy, equality, and civility as the basis for
a democratic society. To that end, partnering institutions endeavor
to broaden and deepen the significance students attach to the meaning
of citizenship, civic engagement, and political participation through
the promotion of educational practices that reflect a student-centered
and experimental approach to learning. |
