Youth Political Activism

Three politically active high school students talked about their own participation in politics and made suggestions on how involve other young people in civic matters. They also discussed the relevance of the civic education available to them and most American teenagers. Following their discussion panel members responded to audience members' questions.

“Politically Active Youth on Political Participation and Civic Education: What They Have to Teach Us” was a program at the third annual Netroots convention of Internet columnists (bloggers), formerly known as the YearlyKos Convention, held in the Austin Convention Center. close
