iCitizenForum Mission

iCitizenForum fosters civic responsibility by engaging a diverse community which, guided by the values and principles of the inventors of democracy, participates in the exploration of citizenship issues.

Created by Colonial Williamsburg, iCitizenForum promotes understanding of the balance between rights and responsibilities in a historical context. There are lessons in the founding ideas and ideals of the American experiment in democracy and in the contributions of newer democracies. Colonial Williamsburg advances the understanding of the responsibilities we share as national and world citizens. Online debate encourages participants to consider their obligations to one another as members of a global body politic.
