Office of International Information

Programs, Civnet Editorial Services;

Request for Proposals

SUMMARY: The Office of Thematic

Programs (IIP/T) announces an open

competition for an editorial services/

information technology program in

support of Civnet, the civic education

Internet resource. Private non-profit

organizations meeting the provisions

described in IRS regulation 26 CFR

1.501c(3), including civic education

institutions, NGOs and other democracy

advocates, may submit proposals to

support international information

activities that will assist civic education

practitioners, advocates, and other

interested professionals in developing

programs, policies, and strategies, and

in communicating with one another.

The successful grantee will have

substantial experience in civic

education and/or democracy building,

especially on the international level.

Program Information

Overview

Civnet is a web site on civic education

(http://www.civnet.org), and presently

contains, inter alia, information on the

non-governmental organization (NGO),

and civic education movement called

CIVITAS, as well as civics teaching

resources (e.g., text books, curricula,

syllabi, lesson plans, great documents,

articles on teaching methodology),

journal articles on civil society,

directories of civic education/civil

society organizations, and conference

transcripts from CIVITAS meetings.

Civnet was conceived to address the

needs of three primary groups of civic

education practitioners: (1) Teachers/

school administrators (K–12)

(particularly in new and emerging

democracies), who need practical

teaching resources and the capability to

network with other practitioners; (2)

scholars, experts, and academics

interested in civics, democracy, and

civic education issues; and (3) NGOs

and their leaders who support civic

education, civic participation, civic

journalism and civil-society building in

the U.S. and around the world.

The successful proposal will require

information gathering, resource

development, advocacy, and public

relations—via the Internet—on behalf of

the global civic education movement: to

promote international adoption of civic

education standards and curricula; to

assist international organizations,

governments, and foundations in
