UBW BOLD X PEACE CORPS: EBX: ENTERING, BUILDING, AND EXITING COMMUNITY
This is a private engagement and not open to the public.
This workshop is rooted in UBW's value-centered approach for work in communities, particularly those that are perceived as economically poor and in crisis, to build and expand a movement of practitioners that decolonize approaches and methodologies and move toward building self determined, liberatory engagements. Participants will explore UBW core values and experience a variety of community building exercises to implement into their practice. UBW asks participants to think beyond the immediacy of tools gained to instead embrace understandings that, with implementation and continued practice will enhance their understanding of their work and its impact, to ensure judgments don’t inadvertently privilege hierarchical values and reject our common humanity.
