BREAKING BORDERS AND BUILDING BRIDGES (rescheduled!)

*NEW DATE!*

This conference will embrace and nurture the cultural diversity of Colleges of the Fenway (COF) students and the local community in which you live.

Over the course of the conference we will come together to discuss and share what skills, knowledge and experiences emerge from cultural learning (both on- and off-campus) as well as their ties to diversity, social justice, equity and inclusion.

Schedule:

• From 1:00 to 5:00 : Discussions and special kickoff guest speaker (session descriptions coming soon!)

• From 5:00 to 7:00 : COF Social with food, music and fun!

Guest Speaker: Cheryl Hamilton, Director of Massmouth, a non-profit organization that promotes the timeless art of storytelling, will kick off the event by helping us decide which stories we choose to tell that promote our social responsiblity of embracing and nurturing the cultural diversity of our community.

Massmouth organizes storytelling events throughout Greater Boston and surrounding communities, including competitive slams, monthly special features, and custom events. In 2016, Massmouth partnered with WGBH and World Channel to produce the first national television show featuring live storytelling called Stories from the Stage. The organization also leads storytelling workshops for businesses and non-profit organizations, as well as private coaching for individuals.

*This event was originally scheduled for November 9, 2018.
