About this event
The City of Sanford is committed to ensuring we are inclusive and accepting of all people, because the strength of our community is our diversity. Building on the national initiative to create more equitable communities, the City of Sanford, in partnership with the Peace and Justice Institute at Valencia College, is hosting community conversations to identify inequities and develop strategies to address them. Join us!
Doors open at 5:30 pm for participants to break bread together with a free boxed dinner. The formal program begins at 6:00 pm.
Workshop Goals:
- Develop trust and sensitivity to support interactions with one another across cultural, ethnic, and racial lines.
- Strengthen interpersonal relationships through the sharing of personal stories and experiences.
- Increase awareness and understanding of embedded injustices in healthcare, education, housing, finance, law enforcement, criminal justice, community development, employment and other systems.
- Expand citizen engagement to allow for healing and reconciliation as a pathway to community resilience.
