[Libs-Or] Civics for Adults workshops

[Donna Cohen]

Hello all, here is what's coming up.

Citizen Activism 101 - Making Change Happen 

Want to improve life for yourself and your neighbors or have a concern about
local, state or federal laws? Learn about strategies for change, and more:
Brief historical perspective; Examples of successful
advocacy-local-national; Choosing your battles; Who makes the rules?;
Getting heard: tools for change; "Tracking" state and federal legislation.

Thurs. April 5  700-8:30  Silver Falls Library  410 S Water, Silverton

Misinformation, Fake News and Political Propaganda 

We are overwhelmed with messages from politicians, news sources and other
media. Learn to distinguish truth from fiction using critical thinking
strategies. The workshop uses real world examples of political ads, news
headlines, graphs / charts, the effect of word choice in messaging,
statistical data and other types of information in a "what do you see here?
/ what is missing?" format. The last part is about finding accurate
information. The goal is to help people become their own "factchecker".

 The Influence of the Constitution on Civic and Political Conversation

By looking back at the creation of the Constitution we puncture some myths
and develop a broader perspective on its significance - perspective that
helps us evaluate current political events more thoughtfully.

Thurs. April 19 7:00-8:30 St Helens Public Library  375 S 18th, St Helens

 

There may also be some workshops at the mid-Coast this spring. Please
inquire if you might like to host the last week in April.

Youth librarians - I recently conducted workshops at Milwaukie High School.
Perhaps you would like to work out a program with your local high school?

 

Take care,
