2024-2025 Learning in Community (LinC) Workshops

Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop that introduces principles and practices of equitable, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy, activism, policy, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships, center community-defined priorities, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations. 

**This workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering, Engaging, and Exiting (E3) session. If you’ve attended that session in the past, you’ll gain additional knowledge from this session.**

Storytelling is more than just a way to communicate—it's a powerful tool for building connection, fostering empathy, and driving social change. In this in-person workshop, participants will explore the art of narratives, a technique that has been integral to social justice movements, organizing, and community building. By learning how to listen to others' stories and share their own, participants will uncover how narratives shape our understanding of issues and influence collective action.
The workshop will provide frameworks for crafting and analyzing social change narratives, focusing on the intersection of storytelling, grassroots organizing, and strategic advocacy. Participants will gain practical skills to help communities reframe their stories, empower individuals to rewrite the narratives they tell themselves, and unite groups around shared values. Whether you’re working with students, communities, or policymakers, this workshop will support you with the tools to use storytelling as a transformative strategy for social justice.
Key Takeaways:

• Learn how to use storytelling as a tool for social justice advocacy and collective change.
  
• Develop a strategic approach to narrative analysis within the context of movement work.
  
• Gain insights into the creative process of integrating storytelling with grassroots organizing.
  
• Explore ways to empower communities to share their stories, build solidarity, and foster collective action.

An important goal of community-engaged learning experiences is for students to have a positive, humanizing, and sustainable impact on the communities they work with. Students reaching the end of a community-engaged course or service project should prepare to exit a community with these goals in mind. In this interactive session, students will explore what it means to exit a project sustainably; discuss the outputs, outcomes, and impacts of their project; identify important questions to ask their community partners in preparation for exiting a project; and discuss and work on their exit plan.
