Metaphor from the Midwest

December 14, 2009 — Dave L Overfelt

Civic engagement cannot simply be demanded from citizens, it must be cultivated among them.  In this presentation (pdf), we offer a few of our favorite quotes as guidelines for understanding civic engagement as an ongoing process through which citizens gather skills and become more aware of and more involved in the issues that impact their lives.  We hope that you can find some time to reflect on and engage with the issues that impact your community over the holidays.  In the new year help plant and cultivate the seeds of citizenship.
