Responsible Governance and Sustainable Citizenship Project
The Responsible Governance and Sustainable Citizenship Project (RGSCP) is an initiative at the University of New Hampshire that promotes ethics, citizenship, principled leadership, responsible governance and the creation of sustainable institutions. It provides opportunities for students and citizens of New Hampshire to learn how to be involved citizens and members of ethical, responsible, and productive communities, businesses and organizations by bringing the past into dialogue with the present in order to inform the future.
RGSCP Coming Events
A CIRCLE Community Conversation hosted by The Civil Discourse Lab
The importance of youth health and well-being has been at the forefront of national conversations lately — from the return of the Presidential Fitness Test under the Trump Administration, to the CDC’s recommendations for increasing physical activity as students return to school, to recent policies limiting cell phone use and screen time during the school day. The Civil Discourse Lab invite you to join us on Wednesday, November 5th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Strafford Room of the Memorial Union Building for a CIRCLE community conversation where we will share stories, perspectives, and values related to youth physical activity in our schools and communities. Together (over a free community dinner), participants will watch a few short films addressing the physical inactivity pandemic for our young people and then participate in interactive, roundtable discussions.
This year we are exploring the role of youth physical activity with Assistant Professor of Kinesiology Chad Killian, who is also a certified K-12 physical education teacher. See more details and register here: CIRCLE Exploring the Student BODY Interactive Dialogue
