SUMMARY:String it Together: Finding Togetherness in Community on the New Education Digi-scape
DESCRIPTION:FREE ONLINE (Zoom) global learning event by and for communities. \nJoin our dynamic group of special guests as we engage in an amazing online university student orientation and learning event. Our guests will share how their lived experiences of poverty shape their experiences of attending university. They will share their knowledge about finances\, navigating higher education\, academic hurdles\, being a student-parent\, accessing resources and finding a community of support and mentorship. They will speak to misconceptions about “poverty-class” folks—and\, wait for it—that we are here\, in university! Our special guests speak from experiences of loss and frustration\, but also from experiences of success\, support\, healing and hope. They will share how they imagine otherwise for “poverty-class” students who come alongside us and who will come after us. They will speak to the power of finding togetherness in community on the new education digi-scape. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, September 8th on Zoom (9am-11am PST) as collectively we string together diverse perspectives\, ideas and solutions to support those with lived experiences of poverty who hope to or are going to university. \n \nFREE ONLINE (Zoom) global learning event by and for communities. \n \nWho should attend?\n\nEveryone (inside and outside of university—in Canada and across the world) who are engaged in university\, those who hope to access university\, those who want to shake things up and change the status quo and those who want to (un)learn.\nUniversity and college students\, educators\, faculty\, contract and sessional instructors\, advisors\, librarians\, financial aid administrators\, support staff\, administration\nPoliticians and education ministers\nMayors and town/city councilors\nEnd poverty groups\nHealth care folks\nFamily members\nCommunities
