About This Lesson
People Power is a multi-media resource that fosters student exploration of how engaged citizens change the world. All six sections are common-core connected and also available on www.civicvoicesforpeace.com. In section 1, students gain a conceptual understanding of civic engagement, as well as a personal understanding of how individuals make the decision to act. First, students take part in a global survey and assess their own civic propensities. Then they watch a brief video montage in which engaged citizens from around the world explain what inspired them to get involved.
