Active Global Citizenship Conference

Deadline: October 1, 2008

The purpose of the 2008 Active Global Citizenship Conference at Lock Haven University is to empower delegates to become conscientious citizens who create sustainable relationships among and within local, regional, and global communities. Through workshops, panels, poster sessions, and discussion groups, the Active Global Citizenship Conference will provide a forum where critical approaches to understanding globalization and global citizenship are explored and debated. By facilitating the free exchange of ideas, we hope to stimulate a sense of responsibility where campuses and citizens become active political, environmental, and economic agents of change.
