Doing Democracy
Doing Democracy: Strengthening Our Families, Our Communities, Our Country is a nationwide, multi-generational partnership of parents, children, youth, educators, media professionals, scholars, public figures, churches, schools, and civic organizations. Doing Democracy forms the foundation of The Jamestown Project?s multi-year initiative to utilize its tools of civic engagement to teach and inspire citizens across the nation to engage in meaningful public conversations around the priority issues including: Strengthening Families, Healthcare, Education, Equal Justice, Community Policing, Affordable Neighborhoods, Democracy, Strengthening our Roots, Economic Prosperity, Environmental Justice, and Closing the Digital Divide.
Storytelling Project
The overall purpose of our storytelling initiative is to utilize and to expand storytelling as an essential communications technique for human development and social change. We think that storytelling transcends race, class, age and other differences by allowing people to communicate on common ground through common stories thus resulting in them embracing shared values as illustrated within stories. We further believe that storytelling must be embraced as a communications technique to be used not just in our work, but one that should be proliferated across America.
