IDSP Co-hosts the Intercultural Story Circle Event this November: “Don’t ask where I’m from, ask where I’m a local.”

Don't ask where I'm From; ask where I'm a local.

IDSP is cohosting its first intercultural story circle at MIIS in collaboration with the Diversity & Inclusion Committee and the Intercultural Competence Committee (ICC).

The intercultural story circle will engage participants in conversation around Taiye Selasi’s TedTalk, “Don’t ask where I’m from, ask were I’m a local.”  Students, faculty, and staff are invited to share stories and explore concepts of identity through the lens of “rituals, relationships, and restrictions”.

A story circle is a safe space where individual come together to share experiences, through a thoughtful, structured, and facilitated process. Story circles are powerful tools to develop trust, and generate collective problem solving and action.

Please join us on Wednesday November 11th from 6:30pm-8:00pm at the DLC!
