About the Conference. For a country to flourish and grow, and for a
democracy to sustain liberty and justice, the next generation of citizens
must acquire the civic skills, abilities and commitments to govern. This
interdisciplinary conference will draw together researchers and
practitioners, including:

* K-12 educators and counselors,
* University faculty and researchers,
* State coordinators, policy makers and evaluators,
* School and University administrators,
* Staff from youth-serving community based organizations.

This would include work on:

* service-learning,
* moral education,
* character education,
* democratic education,
* violence prevention,
* substance abuse prevention.

Orlando, Florida. Orlando, is one of the top travel destinations in the
United States. The weather is great, and with Disney and the many theme
parks, it is the top destination for vacationing families. However Orlando
has more than Mickey Mouse; the city is a short drive from the beach and
there are is now a vibrant nightlife. From Sun to Golf to Blues and NASA,
Orlando is a perfect place to meet.

The Centre for Policy and Practice is an independent, non-partisan
organization that supports research and its application to real world
questions. The Director of the Centre is William Morgan. Will has run
several civic education programs and conducts research on the impacts of
civic education. Will received the Points of Light Award from the Points of

Youth Serve America and was named a Fellow at the John Glenn Institute or
his service-learning research.
