Event Description

Maria Ressa is the co-founder of Rappler, the leading digital-only news outlet in the Philippines, known for its fearless reporting and its defense of press freedom. In awarding her the Nobel Peace Prize, the committee recognized her “efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace.” In this timely conversation, Ressa will shine a light on the breakdown of our global information ecosystem and explore how networks of engaged citizens can come together to defend democratic values and hold the line against disinformation and authoritarianism.

West Side Story
Concord Center takes justifiable pride in its history, but today great things are happening in West Concord. Innovation and self-reliance are nothing new on the west side of Route 2; they’ve defined the community for centuries.
Established for Social & Mutual Improvement: The Concord Lyceum
The Lyceum Movement started in New England in 1826, when educator and scientist Josiah Holbrook founded the first lyceum in Millbury, Massachusetts. Inspired by the classical Lykeios (Λύκειος) in Ancient Greece, where Aristotle taught, the movement was created to bring education to ordinary people through lectures, debates, and readings. Lyceums quickly spread across New England, fostering education, self-improvement, and civic engagement, and many towns soon formed lyceums of their own, including Boston in 1829 and Salem in 1830. By the 1830s, there were Lyceums across the country.
