Thank you to all who joined us for Part 1 of our Summer 21 Community Conversations. We are looking forward to Part 2: the Story Circle. No preparation or RSVP is necessary, simply email oiedi@up.edu or visit the this page in Pilots UP for the Zoom link to access the June 24 11:30 a.m.- 1 p.m. conversation where we will hear from each other about “a time someone unexpected influenced you”.
A little information about Story Circles:
- Foundation of Story Circles: We are all interconnected through human rights. Each person has inherent dignity and worth.<RESPECT AND OPENNESS>
- In addition to the two presuppositions, it is important to remember that: a) Every person has personal experience that can be shared . b) We all have something to learn from others . c) Listening for understanding is transformational
- Goal: Community development – diverse community citizens (of different ages, gender, religions, socio-economic backgrounds, etc.) come together to share their stories so as to create bonds and build relationships across generations, religions, and socio-economic backgrounds.
We hope you will join us and invite others from our UP community to join. We are looking forward to this opportunity to learn from and about each other!
Please email questions, suggestions, or other feedback to oiedi@up.edu.
