Carold Institute - for the advancement of citizenship in social change

Community Sp@ce

This public online space has been created to encourage dialogue between the recipients of the Alan Thomas Fellowship and those interested in sharing information on democracy, social action, and citizen participation. While the Carold Institute has created this space and links on its website, individual grant recipients are charged with content creation and maintaining the space. The opinions and content of the Community Space are those of the grant recipients.
