In 2019 we convened faculty, staff, students, and community members from throughout northeast Ohio to co-create a civic and political engagement curriculum. Our equity-center civic engagement curriculum is built on 5 inter-related modules, focusing on skills and practices for creating sustainable change:

Module 1: Self-Aware Civic Leader

Module 2: Defining Problems, Identifying Solutions

Module 3: Demystifying Politics, Policy, & Processes

Module 4: Individual Action to Collective Action

Module 5: Tools & Strategies for Action

 

As we build out each of the modules and revise our curriculum, check out our list of community-developed Concepts, Events, & People page. We are adding more concepts regularly!
