Civic Space

Civic Space is a common ground, a public space for the sharing of ideas. It brings people from diverse communities together face-to-face, encouraging communication, the mutual exploration of ideas, problem solving and celebration. At WHYY, our off-air Civic Space events relate to, reinforce and expand on WHYY's on-air educational, arts and culture, and news and information, and workforce development programming.

The Independence Foundation Civic Space is a physical facility found in the heart of WHYY's Technology Center. Civic Space is also conceptual, taking place anywhere in the region where people come together - schools, museums, performance places, and many public arenas. And Civic Space is also virtual, accessed through the existing and new technologies of WHYY's website, multiple digital TV channels and radio signals.

If your community or non-profit organization is planning a public event which is aligned with our on-air programming, and you would like to explore the idea of partnership with WHYY,click here.
