2023 Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement Meeting

Our 2023 CLDE (CLDE23) will facilitate exchanges of knowledge and develop a sense of community around our shared civic learning and democratic engagement work. As a community we have adopted the CLDE Theory of Change and strive to create effective strategies and models that strengthen civic learning and democratic engagement. Participants will have opportunities to network and develop their civic-minded thinking and practices through plenary sessions, site visits,concurrent sessions, posters, receptions, pre-conference workshops, and working meetings.

 

 

We welcome your submission and invite you to help shape the conversation about the future of civic learning and democratic engagement at this moment in our country's history. The CLDE planning committee encourages collaborative proposals that feature the work of more than one campus and that are data-driven in their approach. We also strongly encourage proposals that include significant audience engagement as part of the session. 

Conference proposals should align with one of the following areas of focus:

1. Integrating equity, justice, diversity, inclusion and accessibility
2. Incorporating experiential learning opportunities
3. Balancing voter engagement with broader civic engagement
4. Implementing and assessing institution-wide civic learning objectives
5. Implementing pedagogical and programmatic strategies
6. Strengthening community and campus integration of civic engagement

 

Submit your proposal here! 

The deadline for program proposals is 11:59 PM ET, Sunday, February 5. 

Please contact NASPA if you have further questions about submitting a program proposal for the 2023 Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement meeting or if you have registration questions.
