EXPLORING EQUITY THROUGH A NEW GLOBAL CLASSROOM: A COMMUNITY DIALOGUE AND PANEL!!!

Hosted by The University of Arizona and Arizona Town Hall

Sept 18, 2023

5:00 pm to 7:30 pm

Location: University of Arizona, Health Sciences Innovation Building, HSIB Forum 100B, 1670 E Drachman St., Tucson, AZ

Join us for an interactive dialogue on equity while we answer the question: can we find opportunities to use an equity approach for improving our education systems and strengthen community?

Through the personal stories of a panel of faculty and students who have traveled with the University of Arizona’s Cultural & Inclusive Experiential Learning Opportunities (CIELO - diversity.arizona.edu/cielo ), and short videos, we will explore equity from around the world and in our state. Following this, students will facilitate dialogue in small groups to discuss opportunities and actions for our diverse communities here in Arizona. Each table of participants will generate an approach that will contribute towards the final recommendations report by the Statewide Town Hall.

Dinner will be provided.
