      Civic dialogues are community conversations focused upon issues affecting citizens lives and the potential policy developments to help address those issues. Education Voters of Pennsylvania has conducted two dialogues to date; a Bucks County Civic Dialogue and a Berks County Civic Dialogue. We have collaborated with the University of Pennsylvania's Project for Civic Engagement and we are currently working with the university and local communities in order to conduct 6-10 more of these dialogues in various counties throughout Pennsylvania.
