The W&M Active Citizens Conference

 

The 2026 Active Citizens Conference will be Saturday, February 21 from 10am to 3:15pm. 

Our theme for the year is Sustainability Mindset. Throughout the day attendees will experience active-learning workshops, speakers, dialogues, critical reflection, and more to further their understanding of the fundamental interdependence between self, others, society, and nature and working to improve the wellbeing of all. 

 Conference attendees will explore:

• How can we understand and embrace interdependence in our active citizenship?
• How do our efforts affect the wellbeing of others and our environment?
• How can we use “both-and” thinking: personal and structural change, short and long-term impacts, parts and whole?
