From Participation to Purpose: Stories of
Civic Engagement & Civic Careers (virtual event)
As a part of this year's Massachusetts Civic Learning Week, a virtual panel was designed for educators and students (but open to all!) and encourages panelists to share their "civic journey". 

Two of the four panelists are from Franklin: Cobi Frongillo and Jen Knight-Levine!

From Participation to Purpose: Stories of Civic Engagement and Civic Careers 
This session will engage middle and high school students and teachers in a discussion about pathways that panelists have taken to civic engagement. Four individuals representing a range of pathways and professions will participate in a moderated Q & A panel session to share their own educational experiences that helped pave the way for successful civic engagement. 
Teachers and students are invited to work together ahead of the panel to come up with interview style questions they would like to see the participants respond to during the session, with opportunities available for classes to directly ask questions during the panel. 
This moderated panel and Q&A session will provide middle and high school students and teachers with valuable perspectives on the skills and experiences that lead to meaningful civic involvement.
