Civics: Redesigning Representation
About the Module
Civic participation is the key to a functioning democracy. We do not live in a world where the political, economic, cultural, or ecological capital resources are evenly distributed, but are hoarded by misers and dictated through State government. Representative democracy undermines our ability to become free and make direct choices that impact our livelihoods. Let us learn how to flip the paradigm around and represent ourselves towards a Sustainable Future!
