Upcoming Sessions

Two-Day Symposium with Irshad Manji

Many of us are observing tension and challenges in our classrooms, within relationships (with family, friends, colleagues …), and civic discourse in general. Instead of shying away from these sometimes-uncomfortable conversations, can we approach these interactions with curiosity and humility? Can we learn to facilitate these kinds of interactions within our classrooms? If so, we encourage you to participate in our two-day symposium during Reading Week (Oct 13 & 14) with Irshad Manji, where we will learn the tools of moral courage. The event includes workshops, experiential learning opportunities, educator-focused sessions, a panel discussion with local advocates, and a public keynote address; the latter two sessions are open to students and the greater Hamilton community on Tuesday October 13th: 

• 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. | Profiles in Change Making: Panel Discussion (livestream available). Moderated by Irshad Manji, this interactive session will explore how we can create positive change in our communities, workplaces, and personal lives, even when facing challenges. Hear from local advocates, ask questions, and gain practical tools for making a difference. 

• 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. | Moral Courage for Messy Times | Keynote Address by Irshad Manji. Learn ways we can discuss urgent yet sensitive issues, and turn different, even clashing, opinions into opportunities for personal and social health. Here’s to hearing each other — and healing ourselves.
