April 17 - 23, 2023 is National Week of Conversation, and in celebration of this larger effort, CSIS will host a program on April 17 (4pm-5pm EDT) looking specifically at how to promote civil discourse in the workplace via civics. The featured panelists from the civics, corporate communications and business communities will highlight not only the specific skills needed to encourage civil discourse, but also the ways in which engaging with these types of activities can promote a more cohesive and inclusive workplace.
One of the key messages that was emphasized during the recent Summit for Democracy was the following: democracy is good for business, and business is good for democracy. Recent studies show that there is a business case for generally promoting civics. But what are the practical, tangible benefits to having a civically informed and engaged workforce? Beyond the immediate implications for a specific company, how do civically-minded workforces actually support democracy and promote the rule of law?
This event is part of the CSIS Civics at Work Initiative and will be moderated by Suzanne Spaulding (Director of the Defending Democratic Institutions Project). The panel will feature Ginny Badanes (Senior Director, Democracy Forward, Microsoft), Preston Golson (Director, Brunswick Group - Washington, D.C. Office) and Ted McConnell (Executive Director, Campaign for the Civic Mission of Schools).

,1,Please join CSIS and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung for a conversation with MP Galyna Mykhailiuk, Member of the Ukrainian parliament, and Sevgil Musaieva, Editor-in-Chief of Ukrainska Pravda, Ukraine’s largest online newspaper. This conversation will provide an opportunity to discuss the work of the Ukrainian legislature during wartime, as well as how Ukrainian civil society is responding to the war and how ordinary Ukrainians see the future of the conflict evolving. As the United States and European allies continue to send aid to Ukraine, MP Mykhailiuk and Ms. Musaieva will reflect on what more is needed from Western governments and how external actors can best support Ukraine’s reconstruction. This conversation will be moderated by Max Bergmann, Director of the CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program, with opening remarks by Knut Dethlefsen, Friedrich Ebert Foundation Representative to the United States and Canada.
This event is made possible by generous support from the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung.
