SUMMARY:The Art of Facilitation: Participatory Facilitator Training + Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:We believe that practicing the art of facilitation creates equitable\, productive\, joyful\, and connecting spaces\, so that people can fully participate\, contribute\, and collaborate. \nIf “facilitation” is\, at its root\, the invisible process of making things easier\, how can we equip ourselves as facilitators to create ease and openness? How can we practice a form of facilitation that is in alignment with our values and in service to creating a more democratic and just world? \nIn this workshop\, GWI workers will share their go-to facilitation practices\, including how to prepare a facilitation plan\, how to hold space during a gathering\, and how to guide and organize a group towards a shared goal over time. We will go over tools and concepts that have been helpful to us in our work\, whether as workshop leaders\, cohort facilitators\, or community builders. Our goal is to provide clarity and grounding for those stepping into the ongoing practice of being a participatory facilitator. We come to this work with curiosity and humility\, and as co-learners on this journey with you! \nThis workshop is for seasoned facilitators and beginners alike. \nFor more on our approach to facilitation and some of the resources that inspire us\, you can explore our Good Work in Groups collection. In particular\, check out the post: How to be a Participatory Facilitator. \nThe workshop will include formal instruction and will conclude with an informal Happy Hour for participants to further connect and share their experiences. \nMORE INFO + REGISTER

SUMMARY:Brother Outsider: Life of Bayard Rustin Film Screening\, Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Brother Outsider illuminates the life and work of Bayard Rustin\, a visionary activist and strategist who has been called “the unknown hero” of the Civil Rights Movement. A tireless crusader for justice\, a disciple of Gandhi\, a mentor to Martin Luther King Jr.\, and the architect of the legendary 1963 March on Washington\, Rustin dared to live as an openly gay man during the fiercely homophobic 1940s\, 1950s\, and 1960s. Brother Outsider reveals the price that Rustin paid for this openness\, chronicling both the triumphs and setbacks of his remarkable 60-year career. \nFollowing the screening\, Walter Naegle\, Rustin’s life partner\, will join us for an engaging Q&A to discuss Rutin’s extraordinary life\, legacy\, and continued relevance today. Kenya Gadsden will moderate. Registration required. Register here!

SUMMARY:Walkway Connections: Oh Freedom! Quilt Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Mid-Hudson Antislavery History Project (MHAHP) and the Oh\, Freedom! Quilting Project present a short slide show of the history of slavery and antislavery in Dutchess County. On display are commemorative history quilts that were created by local quilt circles and invited quilt artists. There is also a simple make and take project available for community participation. \nThe quilts will be on display from 1 – 3:30 p.m. so the public will have the opportunity to learn about the art and the history from those involved with this project. The Walkway Connections presentation begins at 2 p.m. This event takes place at the East Gate Plaza in Poughkeepsie (61 Parker Avenue). It is free to attend and appropriate for all ages. \nThe MHAHP researches\, interprets\, and disseminates this history\, engaging in public history and cultural programming to help citizens appreciate its ongoing impact on social justice issues. The project focuses on the history of slavery\, the Underground Railroad\, and the anti-slavery movement in the mid-Hudson region\, making it a valuable resource for understanding this significant aspect of American history. \nOh\, Freedom! Quilting Project creates community quilts to commemorate and memorialize the people and places in the Hudson Valley who were important in the historic fight for freedom and emancipation. We learn together about the little-known history of the antislavery movement\, the Underground Railroad\, and the role of enslaved people in building the economy and culture of the Hudson Valley.
