Hawaiʻi Social Justice Educators Community: Post-Election Listening Circle
Dates: Thursday, November 7, 2024
(Future gatherings scheduled for February 27, and April 10, 2025)
Time: 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Location: Online via Zoom
Cost: Free
For the second Social Justice Educators Community Gathering on Nov 7, a group of educators from Shanti Alliance, the Davis Democracy Initiative at Punahou School, and the Hanahauʻoli School PDC will moderate a post-election Listening Circle, modeled on the practices of the International Institute for Restorative Practices. This Listening Circle will focus on deep listening, building empathy, and strengthening communities. The experience of a listening circle can also help us think about the possibility of restorative justice practices in our schools. Due to the thoughtfully moderated nature of a listening circle, we will select a limited number of participants of different backgrounds for this first experience.
About the Hawai ‘i Social Justice Educators Community Gatherings:
This series of four online gatherings is focused on social justice education in Hawaiʻi for those who are:
in a role supporting diversity, equity, inclusion, or belonging at school
on a committee exploring such issues
teaching social justice content in classes
engaged in advocacy or activism around social justice education
or are interested in learning more about the work others are doing toward these ends.
We invite you to join us for quarterly conversation in a facilitated format, where we will share and explore the successes and challenges of social justice education in schools in Hawaiʻi. A component of the Social Justice Education in Hawaiʻi Project offered by Hanahauʻoli School and the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Education, these informal gatherings are offered at no cost thanks to the generosity of Jana and Howard Wolff.
