In this lesson, students will explore how visual arts can be a tool to advance social justice and cultural change. Students will use a critical media literacy framework to closely examine the 1956 Gordon Parks Life magazine photo essay, “The Restraints: Open and Hidden,” and explore other unpublished photographs Parks took during this assignment. Students will then explore how current artists such as Devin Allen continue to be inspired by Parks’ work to illuminate injustices through the visual image. Students will see the power of visual art to break down barriers of understanding, bring individuals closer to injustices occurring in their communities, and solidify the historical record for future generations.

Our approach to civic education is about providing opportunities for students to experience their democracy first-hand rather than by reading about it in a textbook. By reaching students throughout their school career, during and between election periods, we hope to prepare them to be responsible and informed citizens.
CIVIX programming focuses on the themes of elections, government budgets, elected representatives and digital media literacy. Programs available include:
(1) Student Vote - an election enables teachers to bring democracy alive in the classroom
(3) Rep Day - connects students with their elected representatives for a virtual or in-person meeting
(4) CTRL-F - a module providing quick strategies students can use to investigate and evaluate information
(5) PoliTalks - supports educators in bringing political discussions to the classroom - Materials are free with registration, and programming is designed for grades 5-12
(6) Democracy Bootcamp - professional development conference for teachers designed to improve their democratic engagement and delivery of CIVIX programming

"Renforcer la démocratie grâce à l’éducation civique CIVIX mise sur les événements politiques actuels afin de les transformer en expériences d’apprentissage authentiques et de faire vivre la démocratie dans les salles de classe."
"Tout a commencé en 2003, avec un petit groupe de jeunes personnes dévouées mettant sur pied le premier programme Vote étudiant à l'occasion des élections provinciales ontariennes. Nous avons depuis élargi notre champ d’action et nous proposons maintenant une panoplie d'activités ayant pour but de développer l’engagement démocratique chez les jeunes, pendant et entre les périodes électorales, tant au Canada qu’à l'étranger."
