One part of healthcare has gotten better. One part of healthcare has gotten better.
Join Millennial Ethics on Saturday, March 14th at Join Millennial Ethics on Saturday, March 14th at 2:30PM PT | 5:30 PM ET on Zoom for this free public event presented by our founder, Sam Reetz, during National Civic Learning Week! Imagine if K-12 students today could play a role-playing game that encourages each student to cultivate collaboration, embrace curiosity, engage in evidence-based thinking, and explore policy solutions with a hands-on approach to civic learning. By merging the lanes of inclusive curriculum design, systems thinking, and experiential learning, this seminar-style discussion uses a series of interactive exercises, key research findings, and critical thinking prompts for K-12 educators to explore how intergenerational storytelling pathways motivate deeper personal inquiry, civic understanding, and moral clarity. The end goal of this presentation is to demonstrate to K-12 educators and beyond how our approach makes civic learning relatable and fun, guiding K-12 students towards improved decision-making. Please note pre-registration is required to attend. Register today: https://civiclearningweek.org/event/improved-navigation-how-intergenerational-storytelling-pathways-restore-public-trust/?utm_source=Instagram&utm_medium=Post&utm_campaign=Civic%2520Learning%2520Week
