Topics highlight recommended resource items, both online and in the
National Service-Learning Clearinghouse library, on important
service-learning related subjects. The resources in this category help
to make the connection between service-learning, civic education and
democracy, and the need for a democratic society to educate its
citizens in respect to such areas as human rights, individual dignity
and worth, the rule of law, and the common good. An understanding of
historically democratic political systems, and the foundations upon
which they were built, is essential to civic education.
