St. Mary's & BU Workshops coming up

We are in the process of organizing 4 workshops/meetings for the St.Mary's project.
Yesterday we had our first meeting around content and ideas.

The four workshops came out of discussions we had with people interested in the project with the idea of presenting some of our frameworks and connecting with people interested.

• Communication workshop
• Spiral Dynamics Introduction
• Intergenerational Integration
• New Chicago Community integration

The goal is to present some of our resources, to connect with people that are interested in the project and to enhance our own skills. Furthermore we are hoping to provide positive experiences, and reach out to the people in Fairfield!
