The Road to Democracy: My Reflections on the Egyptian Revolution

March 31, 2011

Civic Enterprises and the National Conference on Citizenship each recently expanded their teams with the addition of a nonprofit leader from Cairo, Egypt, through the 12-month Atlas Corps professional fellowship. These Fellows arrived in America shortly after the Egyptian Revolution, which began January 25, 2011 and lasted 18 days. The citizen-driven revolution, which was mostly peaceful and organized largely through social media, resulted in the resignation of the country's president, Hosni Mubarak, and paved the way for democratic leadership in Egypt.

We invite you to a panel discussion where four Egyptian Atlas Corps Fellows will share and reflect on their experiences during the Revolution. They will also relate their experiences to what they hope to learn during their time in the U.S.

Who: Atlas Corps, Civic Enterprises, and National Conference on Citizenship
What: A conversation with first-hand reflections on the Egyptian Revolution
When: April 21, 2011, 9:00-10:30 a.m. Eastern

Please note: While the convening organizations are proud to host this event, the views and opinions of the panelists are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of NCoC, Civic Enterprises, Atlas Corps, or the Host Organizations of the other Fellows.

Thank you for these questions-- I apologize we didn't see them as the conversation was wrapping up.

There are a number of questions we didn't get to during the discussion because the conversation was so rich and full. We plan to ask the panelists to follow-up with written answers to them and will make sure a link to that is posted here. We will also have a video archive from the event and a reflections article available early next week.
