How to Be a Citizen

C. L. Skach, an insightful author on civic engagement, invites listeners to rethink the essence of citizenship. He emphasizes that civil society isn't just mandated by law but is something we can actively create together. Skach introduces the concept of the 'piazza' to illustrate how community interactions build trust. He also advocates for smaller, diverse networks to enhance democratic engagement, and highlights an innovative educational model that values kindness to foster emotional connections in children.
