Statement from David Thornburgh President and CEO of The Committee of Seventy And Chair of Draw The Lines PA

The Give Us A Ballot event is a nonpartisan collaboration between the Philadelphia Mayor’s Office of Youth Engagement, the City Commissioners, Committee of Seventy, and PA Youth Vote to invite Philadelphia students to City Hall to celebrate national vote early day, civic engagement, and casting their first ballot. Students will have the opportunity to create and deliver civically inspired speeches and artwork, engage with local community organizations and more!

This exercise fits well near the launch of a Can We Talk? unit or initiative. It's a good way for students to get to know each other better while practicing the skills of active listening. It's also a relatively low-stress way for students to begin experiencing dialogue. Also, if you plan on using the lesson plan that digs into active listening, more explicitly teaches the skills and habits involved, this exercise is good preparation for that.
