Community Conversation - Aging within our Current Society
February 11, 2025 - 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM ET
We invite you to a Community Conversation about Aging within our Current Society.
At our conversation, we'll consider questions like what is expected of us as we age? How are we perceived by others, and does it change as we age? Is it impacted by our status? Our income? What expectations does society seem to hold about the worth of a person as we age?
This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community.
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.
