American Public Square teaches students how to have respectful conversations about important topics. They offer classes in high schools about spotting fake news and understanding bias. College students can become interns and help plan programs. Students learn skills to discuss difficult issues with people who have different opinions. This helps build stronger communities and democracy. High school classes happen in the fall, with hands-on projects in the spring. College interns work on planning events and help other students get involved in civic issues.

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
Rainer Maria Rilke
