Luke Terra of Stanford University evaluated the Southeast Europe Regional Project Citizen Showcase and Summer Camp, the culminating event of the “Promoting Tolerance and Ethnic Reconciliation in the Balkans through Civic Education” program, funded by the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. Terra examined the program design and student experiences at the event, especially highlighting how the event promoted tolerance through inter-group contact. Executive Summary.
We want a world…
We want a world where people have the right to love humanity.
We want a world where people create their visions.
We want a developed economic system.
We want a cultural climate where joy lives there.
We want a world based on human values.
We want a world led by people which never heard of hypocrisy.
We want a world where people don’t experience disappointment.

About
The Center for Civic Education is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating an informed and thoughtful citizenry committed to democratic principles and actively engaged in the practice of democracy. We do this primarily through our flagship programs, We the People and Project Citizen, but we also provide high-quality, inquiry-driven curricular programs that bring civic learning to life. The Center additionally equips educators with professional learning that builds confidence and capacity to teach civics with depth and relevance, unlocks students’ civic agency by creating opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and share their voices through simulated hearings and other public forums. These initiatives build a national community committed to strengthening civic understanding and participation for all and root everything in decades of research and evidence. Learn more.
