OVERVIEW
Through a national and international network of individuals, civil society organizations, educational institutions,
and governmental agencies, Civitas International Programs have responded for more than a decade to the wave of
democratization sweeping through Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and Africa,Asia, and Latin America.
Supported by the creativity and diversity of this network, the Center for Civic Education works with its domestic
and international partners to offer a range of activities and programs that share the common objectives of creating
student-centered interactive curricula for the next generation of citizens and training teachers in the method-
ologies appropriate to the use of these materials in the classroom.
Many countries in the Civitas network cooperate with U.S. state partners to manage their ongoing civic education
activities through the Civitas International Civic Education Exchange Program.These partnerships are designed to
identify the civic education needs in each U.S. state and international site and develop programs to address those needs
in a manner that takes advantage of the experience, expertise, and programmatic offerings of the partners. Each year
the Center hosts the World Congress on Civic Education in which the best practices of every participating country
and state are shared. The World Congress in Warsaw, Poland, in May 2006, marked the tenth anniversary of this series.
GOALS
➤ Acquaint international educators with exemplary curricular and teacher training programs
in civic education developed in the United States and other participating nations
➤ Assist international educators in creating, adapting, implementing, and institutionalizing
effective civic education programs in their own countries
➤ Create and implement civic education programs for students in the United States that will help them better
understand the history and experiences of emerging democracies and other advanced democracies
➤ Facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences in civic education among educational, governmental,
and private sector leaders in the United States and emerging and established democracies
➤ Encourage independent research and evaluation to determine the effects of civic education on the
development of the knowledge, skills, and traits of character that are essential for the preservation
and improvement of constitutional democracy
FUNDING
Civitas International Programs are directed by the Center for Civic Education and funded by the U.S. Department
of Education under the Education for Democracy Act approved by the United States Congress; additional support
is provided by the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and other sources.
