At the heart of social emotional learning are our stories. The unique stories that have led us each to care for the well-being of youth; the resilient stories of the young people we serve; the ongoing story of institutional racism and systemic oppression which we are actively working to undo. At the closing of Day 1, we will gather to reflect, renew, and share our stories in a supportive and uplifting environment. We will use the power of the written word to explore and celebrate our individual stories and imagine our collective future. Come to build meaningful connection, expand creative capacity and experience collective joy.

We encourage you to bring a writing utensil and paper to your space for this session. We recommend that you participate in this session via the Zoom video stream using a device with a camera and microphone to benefit from the full experience.

Play is “so important to optimal child development that it has been recognized by the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights as a right of every child.” Through play, we know that children and youth are able to build their sense of identity and sense of belonging as well as gain helpful strategies for fostering relationships, teamwork, and building community. Adults need play, too, especially during these uncertain and stressful times. Join us for a trivia game filled with learning and fun! We will explore concepts from today’s Mind theme, connect with our colleagues, and review the evidence base for SEL. Last but not least, there will be prizes!

Join us as we work to integrate our learning from the past three Fridays to move towards action in connection with colleagues and community. As we built strength in our hearts, minds, and bodies over these past weeks, what are you walking away committed to do? How will your learning shift your actions as you continue to listen, learn, heal, and support yourself, your community, and the young people you serve? We hope our time together has been a water break on this marathon we are all running to battle the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and systemic racism in our communities, giving you strength to continue to sustain the commitment.
