Building Transformational Relationships (I.D.E.A. Coalition)

Abby Anderson of The Justice Walk and ala ochumare of Liberation U are providing the I.D.E.A. Coalition a valuable opportunity to learn from one another and continue the journey towards equity.

The training will be a three-hour workshop held in February for all coalition members. According to Abby Anderson, “These workshops will explore what it means to be in transformational relationship[s] with each other. We will discuss how, in the struggle for the sake of something larger than ourselves, we can be honest and direct with each other, while still holding compassion.* We hope to help you develop the foundations for your Solutions Teams to be models for what relationships, organizations, and communities across Chautauqua County can be.” 

Talking Points/Topics:

· Integrating belonging through a lens of Inclusion, Dignity, Equity, Accessibility, Race, Justice, and Belonging.
