We see eye-to-eye more than we think.
But when we don’t, we need to…
project civility with sincerity,
patience, and goodwill.
What we project,
whether it’s spoken or non-verbal,
needs to be respectful,
thoughtful, and true.
Because projecting civility isn’t a weakness,
it’s the strongest stance you can take.
about
Project Civility originated in Carmel, Indiana, as a grassroots initiative—just a civic leader and a handful of citizens rallying around this belief:
By cultivating civility in communities across the country, we can rebuild connections and foster mutual understanding.
Inspiring positive societal change can only happen if civil discourse takes place first. Once we practice and learn to project civility in conversation, positive change will reverberate from our local communities and extend to the entire nation.
The inaugural Project Civility National Summit, hosted in Carmel, Indiana, will be invitation-only, taking place September 26–27, 2025.
A gathering of 200 influential community leaders, local change-makers, and national voices from all walks of life, will come together to empower one another and understand how effective a tool civility can be at creating unity and progress in the communities we call home.
