Unveiling Our Tapestry: Empowering Individuals and Families to Share their Authentic Journeys
Purpose: This dialogue intends to empower families to share their authentic narratives, including challenges, triumphs, and diverse experiences. Participants will discuss strategies for creating a safe and inclusive space within their community (family unit, chosen family, work, etc.) enabling everyone to embrace their stories with openness and acceptance.
This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear! If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)
About the format. With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.
