For example, many thousands of students participated in online discussions with other students from around the world in our Civil Conversation Challenge (CCC). They talked about some of the most divisive issues of our day, including racial justice, the nation’s pandemic response and voting. This comment by a student echoes what many students have told us about the experience: The CCC challenge was a great experience overall. It was really fun because you got to see different opinions on different topics and discuss them in a non toxic way with peers. Another thing I really liked about the Challenge was how you got to change people’s opinions and they listened to what you had to say. Students have weighed in on our site about [the importance of voting](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhh7oYP0T6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8xMS8wMi9sZWFybmluZy9kb2VzLWV2ZXJ5b25lLWhhdmUtYS1yZXNwb25zaWJpbGl0eS10by12b3RlLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTUmZW1jPWVkaXRfbG5fMjAyMDExMDYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MjM4NTAmbmw9dGhlLWxlYXJuaW5nLW5ldHdvcmsmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTQzNzM0JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAHhg1pV9fTrBeUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), [who they wanted to be the next president](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhh7oYP4QGAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjAvMTAvMjIvbGVhcm5pbmcvd2hvLWRvLXlvdS1ob3BlLXdpbGwtd2luLXRoZS0yMDIwLXByZXNpZGVudGlhbC1lbGVjdGlvbi5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU1JmVtYz1lZGl0X2xuXzIwMjAxMTA2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTIzODUwJm5sPXRoZS1sZWFybmluZy1uZXR3b3JrJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD00MzczNCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKAB4YNaVfX06wXlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) and [their reaction to the unfolding election results](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhh7oYP0T2aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8xMS8wMy9sZWFybmluZy9wcmVzaWRlbnRpYWwtZWxlY3Rpb24tc3R1ZGVudC1yZWFjdGlvbnMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9sbl8yMDIwMTEwNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0yMzg1MCZubD10aGUtbGVhcm5pbmctbmV0d29yayZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NDM3MzQmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCgAeGDWlX19OsF5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).
