As part of The Night of Ideas (full program here), join us for a panel discussion on the topic of Education as Liberation. Panelists will examine the Enlightenment ideal that knowledge liberates individuals and strengthens democracy. Panelists will discuss how access to education and critical thinking empowers citizens, addressing youth engagement, civic education, and the relevance of 18th-century philosophies today. We will also include a France–U.S. comparison, highlighting differences and similarities in civic formation, educational structures, and approaches to democratic participation.
This event is free, but donations are always welcome and appreciated.
