The Samuel E. Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center is currently accepting workshop/session ideas for our annual Diversity Leadership Conference (DLC) happening Friday, February 21st from 3-7 pm.
DLC is an annual event that is intended to showcase the multiple ways in which leadership lives in our communities. This year, we will focus on highlighting UW student voices as they co-facilitate workshops with a mentor. The theme of DLC 2020 is The Personal is Political: Showing Up for Ourselves and in Solidarity. The theme is meant to reflect and pay homage to the intersectional work of feminist womxn of color. Additionally, with the U.S. Presidential Elections happing in the year 2020, we hope participants can engage in conversations of activism/advocacy for themselves and marginalized/targeted communities.
DLC workshop ideas should attempt to answer or engage with the following questions: How do we engage in community/coalition building? How do we build communities of success? How do we bring other people to our table? How do we engage/recognize our privilege? What do you do when you feel like you don’t “fit in” to your community?
The DLC Planning Committee is interested in ideas that explore these questions through theoretical and/or practical perspectives (i.e. such as your own personal experience).
Additional themes can include:
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the ECC Coordinator for Student Leadership, Angelica Gutierrez, directly at agutie@uw.edu. Thank you for your time and consideration.
