Todos pueden ser líderes/Everyone Can Be a Leader

Las interpretaciones populares del concepto de liderazgo nos dicen que los líderes se ven de cierta manera: llevan la batuta. Poseen una fuerza externa. Son extrovertidos y actúan de manera más pragmática que emocional. Quizás lo más importante es que los líderes son gente en puestos de autoridad y poder. ¿Existe algún tipo alternativo de liderazgo? ¿Cuándo somos nosotros líderes en nuestras comunidades? ¿Cómo nuestro irrepetible sentido propio contribuye a favor de nuestro papel como líderes? Popular understandings of leadership tell us that leaders look a certain way: they are in charge. They possess outward strength. They are extroverted and act pragmatically rather than emotionally. Perhaps most important, leaders are people in positions of authority and power. Is there an alternative type of leadership? When are we leaders in our communities? How can our unique senses of self contribute to our roles as leaders? Español & English

1:30 – 3:00 p.m., Blue Mountain Community College - Hermiston Campus, Hermiston

So Much Together: Unpacking Our Past: History as a Catalyst for Change

Oregon has a particularly unique history of racial injustice that in some ways mirrors and in other ways is distinct from the larger history of racial oppression that exists in our nation as a whole. As Oregonians, we’ve inherited these histories, and their legacies connect to present-day injustices. But what does it look like to confront them, as individuals and communities? And beyond that, how might we come together to shape those histories being written today?

12:30 to 3:30 p.m., Historic Alberta House, Portland

So Much Together: As Often as the Bold: Fear, Community, Movement, and Change

Fear is central to our human experience, a powerful force that extends beyond our individual lives into political and cultural realms. In an uncertain world, the opportunities for fear to take root and spread are infinite. In this So Much Together workshop, we take a non-judgmental approach to fear, viewing it not as our enemy—but as a catalyst for self-discovery and transformation.

12:30 to 3:30 p.m., Historic Alberta House, Portland
