Truth & Democracy in America – 3rd of 3 sessions in a community conversation series

March 29, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:15 pm EDT

Free

How is truth important for a healthy democracy? What are the sources for getting and testing the truth? Where and how do untruths threaten the health of democracy? And what can we do, as a society and as individuals, to meet these challenges? In this series we’ll work together to explore these questions and more in relation to three different areas where truth plays a vital role: the news media, science, and education.

Please join us online, via Zoom, on Wednesday, March 29, 2 – 3:15 PM ET for the third of 3 discussions in this series to discuss Education, Truth, and Democracy.  In this third and final session, we’ll ask participants to explore the connections between education, truth, and democracy? What are the challenges for truth and democracy related to education? And what are some different ways for a democratic society to meet these challenges?

You can register for this 3rd session directly on the Eventbrite website.  Please note that there are 3 separate dates for this series, so please scroll down on the Eventbrite website to select the March 29th date.

These small-group conversations will be facilitated by the Interactivity Foundation. The Interactivity Foundation is dedicated to fostering generous and highly participatory conversations where we can help each other consider diverse perspectives, think broadly and deeply about issues, and imagine alternative possibilities for the future. Our small-group conversations are designed for collaborative exploration. They are not debates or arguments. We focus on helping each other to explore the broader meanings, concerns, challenges, ideas, and different possibilities for the topic.

This series is convened in partnership with AroundTownDC, and the Diversity Relations Council at Leisure World in Maryland.
