“In the absence of adequate civic) education & knowledge, there is less of a bulwark against the loudest & most strident voices. Meaningful debate cannot occur in the absence of participants knowledgeable in the subject matter under discussion.” #CivXNow law.com/ctlawtribune/2022/03…

There is perhaps no more important time for students to build an understanding of our interconnected world & how policy decisions made in the U.S. affect other countries.
To support teaching and learning about U.S. foreign policy, we’ve released our new game, #ConveneTheCouncil.
🎉👇👇👇🎉
While I could not have predicted its timeliness, and I wish the global headlines were not as sobering as they are, I am tremendously proud of the @icivics team for delivering this fun and impactful game in partnership with @CFR_org #ConveneTheCouncil
