Student Town Hall on the 2020 Election
Since 2020 is an election year, many topics and questions are on the minds of social studies students as they engage in civic life. The National Council for the Social Studies invites high school students to contribute short videos or serve on a panel during a live town hall broadcast to speak out on the subjects of citizenship, the election process, and civics. The moderators will introduce the Town Hall with brief student statements reflecting their broad concerns about democracy, social studies, and citizenship. From there, students on the panel (and via prerecorded videos) will discuss two broad questions: What issues matter most to you? What do you think it means to be a citizen? The Town Hall will take place on October 20, 2020, from 7 to 8 p.m. (ET). All videos must be uploaded by October 13 at 5 p.m. (ET), for possible inclusion in the Student Town Hall program.
