We Belong Together: end-of-year gathering

Join us for a warm and welcoming end-of-year gathering to celebrate the rich diversity of our community and explore the theme of belonging in teaching and learning. This event is hosted by the Belong Cluster. This event is reflective, and if you’re feeling up to it, with hands-on, creative experience where attendees are encouraged to bring their culture, traditions, and art practices that foster a sense of identity and belonging.

Together, we’ll:

  • Learn, discuss, and reflect: Share stories and insights on how cultural practices shape belonging. Participate in facilitated conversations focusing on practical ways to foster belonging in teaching and learning environments. Whether you come to create, share, or simply listen and reflect, your presence is valued. Sometimes, just being together is enough. We belong together.
  • Create and Share: Craft items inspired by end-of-year traditions or personal cultural practices using provided templates or your imagination. Supplies will be available for everyone to express their creativity.
  • Collaborate and Reflect: Contribute to our Collaboration Wall, a shared space where we’ll celebrate belonging through art, and simple Post-it messages. The wall can also serve as a photo booth, offering a chance to capture memories.

Event details

  • December 4th, Wednesday, 2:30–4 p.m.

Bring your creativity, curiosity, or simply your presence to share this meaningful moment. Let’s celebrate belonging through our unique identities and shared purpose!
