How do we advocate for inclusion? What do we do when events happen in our community that intentionally exclude specific individuals or groups? This is sure to be an important discussion as we explore inclusion and what we can do when people are intentionally excluded in our communities. Please join us for our September Coffee Chat as we discuss the topic of Disability Inclusion.
An event of intentional exclusion recently happened within my community of Sioux Falls, SD. This event has brought more awareness to my community and has led to many important conversations. I would like to bring that conversation to Coffee Chat. Here are a few articles to provide more information.
Here are some questions to consider in preparation for our upcoming chat:
- What do we do, or can we be doing, to best advocate for others?
- What else can, or should, be done in situations like the one in Sioux Falls?
- Has something like this happened in your life or in your community?
Please remember, this is your conversation so please feel free to bring up something we didn’t identify.
The vision for Coffee Chat is for people to come together to share cool things you are doing and get ideas for things you may want to start or implement into your respective settings. There will be identified topics each month that will be the focus of the Coffee Chat. Informal format so please feel free to drop in and out as you are able!
If you have any questions, or have a topic you would like to see on the schedule, please reach out ([email protected]).
We are looking for upcoming topics!
