Common Ground at American University Claim spaces, create places. A program from American University's School of Education.

Common Ground is a program through American University's School of Education that equips D.C. high schoolers with the research, critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills they need to become active decision-makers and change agents in their communities. We bring students together on several Saturdays throughout the school year to ​engage​ ​in​ ​workshops​ ​centered​ ​on​ ​community-base

d​ ​research,​ ​civic​ ​engagement, design​ ​thinking,​ ​creative​ ​placemaking,​ ​and​ ​community development.​ ​

As​ ​students ​gain​ ​practical​ ​research​ ​and​ ​design skills,​ ​and​ ​knowledge​ ​about​ ​the​ ​culture​ ​and​ ​history​ ​of​ ​their​ ​community, we​ ​provide​ ​a​ ​platform​ ​for​ ​them​ ​to work on ​proposals​ ​for​​ ​​projects​ ​that​ ​re​imagine​ public​ ​space as​ ​the​ ​heart​ ​of​ ​their community​ ​using visual arts, film, storytelling, music, design and more. Become part of a united generation of leaders in the District of Columbia passionate about civic engagement and amplifying the voices of their communities!
