| Summary |
We all have a story to tell: inspiring equity through community conversations is a project of the West Hartford (CT) Public Schools that seeks to bring our schools and community together through the lens of individual and collective stories. Engaging community dialogue through the use of story telling and a multimedia exhibition builds upon our community's cultural capital, which includes many active organizations/groups invested in issues of leadership, equity, and community dialogue. Through this community project, we have begun to learn about the bridges and barriers to equity that exist within our community. |
|
Authentic conversations about the reality of racial, economic, and social-cultural inequity are often difficult to even begin, particularly in an increasingly polarized environment. Hearing other's stories brings new consciousness about the feelings and perspectives of others and new awareness of what influences our sense of identity and community. By viewing hearing, and seeking out the stories of community members within and beyond this book, you will gain insight about the beliefs, experiences, and biases that impact relationships in our diverse community. |
