Community Engagement and Critical Consciousness: a workshop with local activist and Hampshire alum Evelin Aquino.

Posted on by Laura Wenk

Comm Eng Critical ConcFlyerThis workshop helps students navigate tensions that arise when theory in the classroom meets practice in a variety of contexts including community organizing and youth work in formal and non-formal learning contexts. We will discuss why we do community engagement and why having an anti-oppression lens is important: touching on issues of power and privilege, reflection, navigating courageous conversations, and building reciprocity.

Thursday October 30th, 6:30-8:30pm in FPH room 104. Free dinner from El Comalito!
