Becoming Neighbours
Hosted by Kinbrace Community Society in partnership with Worn Words Media. Co-sponsored by VanCity, UBC Office of Community-Engagement, UBC Centre for Migration Studies, and Vancouver Foundation.
Practices of welcome are cultural and diverse. What happens when I'm not sure what you'll find welcoming? Or when you welcome me in ways that I don't like? Practically, how do we create a mutual welcome?
You're invited to join us for Becoming Neighbours: Welcome, an interactive community dialogue, to explore practices and postures of welcome.
Becoming Neighbours is a series of workshops exploring practices and postures that support healthy intercultural community. Each dialogue unpacks one of Kinbrace’s time-tested values.
Program includes panels with refugee and Indigenous expertise, media screenings, & roundtable conversations.
Our first event focuses on 'welcome.'
March 25, 9 am-noon @ UBC Robson Square.
A virtual option is available for those outside of Metro Vancouver.
Other Community Workshops
I offer creative workshops on forced migration for community groups and have facilitated events for diverse organisations in Australia, Canada, and the United States. Workshops can include multimedia screenings, large and small group discussion, and take home material. The level of discussion can range from introductory to what you might expect in a university classroom. Email for more information or if you are interested in hosting a workshop.
