American Exchange Project: Experiential Civics in Action

Picture this: Students from 8 different towns across the U.S. are watching the sun set in L.A. Among them is a line-dancing photographer from Texas, an aspiring chef from south L.A., and an avid reader becoming a real-life main character. Through the American Exchange Project, a free domestic exchange program, students get a greater understanding of themselves, their new friends, and the country we all share. In this solo talk, David McCullough III explores how domestic exchanges are the interactive civics lesson students need at this crucial time in American history.
