Civic Learning and Civic Action - Spencer Foundation

Next Deadline: Apr 29, 2011

Civic learning that is central to the foundation's interests addresses questions about whether and how schools and other learning venues can encourage civic activity, in both the short- and long-term. Three major priorities are powerful motivations and psychological processes; aspects of enabling learning experiences and environments; and societal or group norms, political processes or events, historical and cultural trends, and other contextual influences on individual and group action. Guidelines available for small awards (less than $40,000) an large.
