CALUMET AND STONG COLLEGES invite you to attend BOLD IDEAS!:

Bold Ideas serves as a platform for citizens, activists and leaders to share their personal, career and life experiences and challenges with the community, and how they negotiated their life paths around these challenges. Non-conformists are welcome.

We believe in the power of ideas, actions and experiences. We believe that humans are catalysts for a better world. We believe each experience is unique and can elevate the consciousness of others.

Bold Ideas is where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. It is where extraordinary people share extraordinary ideas that challenge our perspectives of what is possible, what is not possible and what is certain.

Please join us at our upcoming Bold Ideas session:

Session Title: "Power Stories™ - Storytelling and Sister'HOOD"

Date/Time: Thurs, May 20th @ 5:30pm - 7:00pm
Zoom Meeting ID: 933 7697 2436

Session Summary: Stories sit at the core of our human existence, to know yourself is to be educated by the stories of those who came before you: UBUNTU ‘I am because we are’. Storytelling is the most ancient education practice; it is a practice that each and every single person is entitled to. In many most African, Indigenous and collectivist communities the Power of stories play a significant role in one’s identity. This talk will explore the African-Centred principle of Collective Work and Responsibility while using storytelling as a medium of expression. It will further explore the stigmatization of people from low-income communities and showcase a new narrative lead by sisters from the ‘HOOD’.
