Community Conversation: Processing the Violence in the Middle East
October 20, 2023 - 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET
We invite you to a Community Conversation around Processing the Violence in the Middle East on Friday, October 20, from 1-2 PM ET.
The violence in the Middle East has left many of us with sorrow, fear, and other profound feelings. Community Conversations provide a space for our school community to come together to discuss painful and complex topics taking place in our world - and sometimes, to just gather together in grief. In this light, we invite you to a community conversation about the recent attacks and the complicated devastation that continues in the region.
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.
