About this event
"The Power of Children"
You are warmly invited into meaningful discussion with others while exploring some deeper perspectives along the way.
This week's topic is meant to bring attention and awareness to INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S DAY!
PREPARATION: Please consider reviewing the Declaration of the Rights of the Child which was adopted by the United Nations in 1959, affirmed by Nelson Mandela in the following quote:
"Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear." — Nelson Mandela, Former President of South Africa
Questions to help with the discussion:
- "In general, what concerns you about children in the world today?"
- "How have you experienced children as a blessing for you/others?"
- "What makes children vulnerable, at risk and in need of protection/advocacy?"
- "How might we shift the thinking that children's rights are special/different rights?"
- "Where is the power of children most evident to you?"
In this safe, inclusive, casual, and accepting environment, dialogue is encouraged over debate as each person has opportunity to share from their own diverse perspectives and experiences.
Folks in this group enjoy going beyond small talk, reflecting both inward and outward, helping build pathways for more peace and understanding in the world... and your voice matters! No particular set of beliefs (or creed) is required to be a part of this community-building activity. Diverse perspectives are welcome.
Whether to discover yourself amidst a community on a common journey or to find meaning among new friends, there is room at the table for you.
