Week of Deliberative Forums for College Students

National Issues Forums Institute

Location: Online

Exclusively for college students!  

Experience a full week of crossing boundaries to explore public issues with students from across the country in National Issues Forums using the online platform Common Ground for Action (CGA).  

Here’s how it works: There are five deliberative discussions scheduled during the week (April 11 to 16, 2022) – one per day at various times. Students can attend one or more of these forums.

Join the student-focused online forum series, hosted by James Madison University’s Institute for Constructive Advocacy and Dialogue and Every Voice Engaged Foundation. 

In these forums, students will deliberate with others from colleges and universities across the country over the tough choices facing us on the issue of policing reform, youth and opportunity, and climate change.

The aim is to give students a chance to deliberate with peers at campuses that are different from theirs – geographically, population size, and ideologically. We hope this allows students to hear voices they might not otherwise hear. 

For more information and registration links click REGISTER below.

The forums are scheduled for 90 minutes.
