Art of Hosting - November 14-16, 2014

You’re Invited…to a three-day intensive to explore participatory practices and hosting essential conversations that lead to shifts at all levels - from the grassroots to senior leadership." Each Art of Hosting is a reflection of new understanding and learning about how to make change in ourselves and the systems we care about. After 10 years of working to change our own civic dialogue here in Columbus, Ohio, we have seen the systems in our community shift toward participation at all levels. Our nonprofit sector, academic institutions, private organizations, and all levels of government are engaged in a new way of leading change - together.

 

Emphasizing the need for skills in working collectively balanced with the deep personal work needed to lead transformative change, we’ll spend our time in conversation about what we know and what we still have to learn about making meaningful change in ourselves, our organizations, and our communities.

 

OSU Partnership!
This particular Art of Hosting will be offered in partnership with The Women’s Place (TWP) of The Ohio State University.   TWP is working with others in the university system to explore how implicit bias impacts the creation of an equitable and inclusive university environment. Implicit bias is “attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner” or “unconscious associations that occur automatically and quickly due to internalized stereotypes.”

 

TWP will be supporting many participants of this training to come together and discuss implicit bias as well as other issues of concern to the university community. (If you are an OSU faculty, staff, or student who would like to attend the training, please see the OSU invitation to the training here.)

Participation is limited to 40 people and will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis.   Please register as soon as possible to ensure your participation.
