The W&M Active Citizens Conference

The 2025 Active Citizens Conference will be Saturday, February 22. Our theme for the year is Civic Identity. Attendees will experience active-learning workshops, speakers, dialogues, critical reflection, and more to further their understanding of themselves as agents of positive social change.

Conference attendees will explore:

How does civic identity become a core part of who we are?
How can we continually deepen our knowledge, skills, and values connected to social change?
How does critical reflection further our understanding of ourselves as agents of social change?
How do we build and sustain relationships with those who support and challenge our civic identity?
How can we encourage others to understand themselves and take action as agents of positive social change?
