2025 Badge Summit

 How can digital badges help revitalize America’s constitutional democracy? Join us for a session on the Civics Credentialing System (CCS), a growing initiative that combines a trusted, credentialing framework with an open digital badge platform to build durable  civic skills and encourage civic engagement by recognizing competencies, training, actions, and appreciation. Through partnerships with nonprofits, schools, government institutions, and community organizations, Civics Credentialing issues badges to millions  of citizens in five pillars of our democratic republic: civil learning; elections and governance; bridging divides; trusted information; and volunteering and service. Each badge is a shareable digital credential that showcases civic commitment and skills,  inspiring individuals along a clear pathway from learning to action.

In this 30-minute session, which will include a presentation and an interactive Q&A, we’ll share how Civics Credentialing is helping to build a more informed and engaged citizenry, highlighting our initial lessons learned and previewing what’s next.
