What role should the United States play in the changing international environment of the 21st century?
Launched in 1998, the Capitol Forum is an experiential civic education initiative that seeks to raise awareness on critical international issues and to help develop a foundation for long term civic engagement. The program is organized on a statewide basis and involves students both within their social studies classroom and at their state capitol in the spring.
