The Center on Wisconsin Strategy will bring Sustaining Wisconsin, a new statewide civic participation project, to Beloit College on Thursday.
Informed citizens are our greatest strength as a state.
At the core of the Sustaining Wisconsin effort is the conviction that average citizens are more than capable of talking about the issues of the day. The project builds from a 30-minute slide show designed to engage and inform the public about the issues of critical importance to the future. Afterward, discussion will focus on the issues and the next steps people can take to affect them. The center is working with Beloit College student Erinn Horan to bring the project to Rock County. The presentation has spurred active debate about state issues in Wausau, La Crosse, Ashland, Madison and Green Bay.
