From Classroom to Community: Teaching Kids to Lead and Serve

In this episode, Emiliana talks with Maggie Hunter, an Athens Montessori teacher, about introducing civic life and service to young children through mock elections, hands-on campaigns, music and creative expression, and teaching respect, diversity and inclusion.

Together they explore how early education can build empathy, reduce polarization, and help young people find their voices — with practical classroom examples and actionable advice for parents and teachers.
