Bethune Freedom Schools Sponsors Voting Civic Engagement Program

For session two of civic engagement, our topic was voting. We started the discussion off by going through every section of the Voting Explained brochure. Mama Bre guided our students by asking open and close ended questions, some they could find in the brochure, others required them to provide a raw answer.

Using the "voting discussion" documents as a guide, we were able to reflect on ways we have contributed to democracy and also things we could implement in our daily lives to open more doors in engaging with it. The students had opportunities to ask Mama Bre questions as well about what I have done to contribute to our democracy, I explained my experiences to them and the ages Mama Bre began doing some of the examples listed on the handouts.
