This course empowers Grade 11–12 students—especially those navigating displacement or systemic injustice—to explore systems of governance, rights, and civic action through trauma-informed, multilingual, and project-based instruction. Students build fluency in civic reasoning, ethical leadership, and global competencies while designing artifacts that reflect agency, accountability, and redesign for justice.
