Doers of Democracy: A Three-Part Teacher Workshop – Jan 28, Mar 21, May 2

Posted by Philadelphia Art Museum on December 16, 2025

How have individuals and communities challenged, reshaped, and redefined democracy in the United States? Join educators from the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Rosenbach Museum & Library, and the Philadelphia Art Museum for Doers of Democracy, a three-part workshop series designed to support teachers as they engage students in the America 250 commemoration. Together, we’ll explore how artists, writers, and everyday people—often from the margins—have moved democracy forward. Through close engagement with primary sources, teachers will leave with classroom-ready resources to help students connect past and present democratic movements—and imagine their own roles in shaping the future.
