SUMMARY:Building Pathways Dialogue: "PROSPERITY"
DESCRIPTION:After witnessing how our communities have survived 11 months of COVID-19\, APADRC is hosting a virtual community dialogue about “PROSPERITY.” \nHow do we know when we as a community are doing well? \nThe dialogue is part of a new community-building dialogue series — Building Pathways to Understanding — that aims to provide a safe\, shared informal learning space for people from different communities to unpack the beliefs and values that drive the way we build our communities and to take a closer look at the stories we tell ourselves and/or have been told about the way society “has to be.” \nThough APADRC is based in LA\, dialogues are open to anyone living in the U.S. Up to 10 people will be chosen to take an active part in the dialogue (which will be facilitated via Zoom)\, though there will also be room for people who just want to listen. We aim to have a diverse group of participants so that each dialogue will include and reflect different perspectives and experiences. \nSIGN-UP HERE: http://bit.ly/3nW8Iyb \nKnow people who might be interested?
