Out and About Together.
OAT Together: Living Intersectionally
Join us in July to discuss the importance of intersectionality. Why is it important to prioritize making spaces inclusive of everyone? In a world where DEI is constantly being attacked, what can we do to create safe and welcoming spaces? What does the word intersectionality even mean? Come chat with us at Jordan Valley Park. Afterwards, we'll have a relaxing stroll around the park. We hope to see you there!
OAT Together: The Importance of Community
Community is a term that’s thrown around a lot and has high value placed on it, but why? And if we value community so much, why is society structured to avoid building genuine connection? How do we build strong communities when there are so many obstacles in the way? Let’s discuss these questions and more at Doling Park in August. After our discussion, we’ll take some time to walk around the park. We hope to see you there!
OAT Together: The Power of Voting Local
We all know that voting in national elections are important, but what’s the point of voting in local elections? When do local elections happen? What does a city counsel even do? Meet OAT at Sequiota Park to discuss the differences between national and local politics and the power you gain in voting local. Afterwards, we’ll walk around and enjoy the park. We’ll see you there!
Showing and Growing Your Empathy
This month, get together with us as we discuss all things empathy. What is empathy? Who is deserving of your empathy? How do you show empathy to others? What are some ways you can grow your capacity for empathy? Join us in May to discuss these questions and more! After our discussion, we’ll walk a mile around the park. This is a come and go event. You can leave whenever you’d like!
What is Community?
Our first official Out and About Together meeting! We’ll be discussing the meaning of community and how to go about building the foundation of a welcoming community in Springfield. After this discussion, you can keep the conversation going or strike up a totally new topic with others while we walk a mile around the park. This is a come and go event, you’re free to leave whenever you would like!
