All of us are rightly concerned by the coarsening of our civic dialogue and the partisan bitterness that exists today in America. The Cato Institute has joined with friends and partners from across the spectrum to produce a non-ideological summer program for educators to analyze these challenges and seek solutions.
Join middle and high school teachers and administrators from across the country and leading scholars, policy experts and thought leaders this summer in Washington, D.C. for the Sphere Summit: Teaching Civic Culture Together. The Summit will be held at the Cato Institute July 14–18, 2019. To protect our liberal democracy, the Summit will explore what we as individuals can do to restore a spirit of civil, constructive, and respectful discourse and engagement. To that end, the Summit will emphasize the common values and objectives we hold as citizens. The Sphere Summit features discussions from balanced points of view by leading experts from think tanks, media, and the academy.
To apply to attend the Sphere Summit, please click here. Educators and administrators whose applications are accepted will receive full scholarships to attend the seminar. Scholarships include the Sphere Summit seminar, materials, four nights of accommodations, scheduled meals, and travel reimbursement. Accommodations will be provided at the Courtyard by Marriott Washington Downtown/Convention Center.
Sphere Summit applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Applicants will be notified of their status no later than June 10 (earlier applicants may be notified sooner). Please contact Katherine Chacon at events@cato.org or call (202) 789-5229 for more information.
