As today's high school and college students respond to the rapidly changing political, social, and economic realities of the 21st-century world, they will need to answer important questions about their responsibilities as citizens, such as:

• What are our obligations as citizens at the local, national, and global levels?
• What values should guide us as we grapple with a new understanding of the meaning of citizenship in the 21st century?
• How can we fulfill our responsibilities as voters, as individuals involved in civic organizations and activities, and as potential community leaders?

Citizenship in the 21st Century is a four-day residential workshop designed for high school and college faculty interested in developing Socratic discussion programs and curricular units dealing with these vital issues. It will be especially appropriate for faculty in the social sciences, particularly those involved in service learning programs. The workshop will consist of seminars facilitated by experienced Great Books Foundation staff members and will make use of selections from the Foundation's highly acclaimed anthology The Civically Engaged Reader. In addition, participants will learn the fundamentals of Shared Inquiry™, the Great Books Foundation's method of Socratic questioning.

The workshop will begin with check-in at Chestnut Hill College on the afternoon of June 27 and will run through late afternoon on June 30, with several optional evening outings to museums and historic sites in Philadelphia. Participants are strongly encouraged to reside on campus, since a significant part of the learning experience will occur as conversations begun during formal sessions are continued during meals and in common areas.

The cost of the workshop is $750 per person and includes three nights in a single-occupancy room with private bath, three daily meals, and all course materials and books.
