Democracy comes from the Greek words "demos," meaning people, and "kratos" meaning power.
A Democracy Minute is a Life Stories Learning initiative reminding us of this tradition by sharing diverse points of view on democratic values, principles, and ideals. The (11) 60-second thought-provoking segments available on the Life Stories’ YouTube Shorts and Instagram channels will keep conversations about democracy alive and current for use in classrooms, professional spaces, or even shared with friends and family.
Through A Democracy Minute, students can:
• Discuss the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of citizenship
• Explore different expressions and experiences of democratic participation
• Reflect on their values, feelings, and beliefs surrounding our democracy today
