Oregon Humanities Conversation Project brings Oregonians together to talk - across differences, beliefs, and backgrounds - about important issues and ideas. Their goal is to get people conversing and exploring challenging questions from diverse perspectives, not to push a specific agenda or arrive at a consensus.
The Concordia University Libraries Multicultural Arts and Events Program and Concordia University Foundation presents:
Everyone Can Be a Leader: Exploring Nontraditional Community Leadership?
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. Join facilitator Pepe Moscoso for a conversation that explores an alternative view of leadership and asks, When are we leaders in our communities? How can our unique senses of self contribute to our roles as leaders? What do we have to offer that is needed? Participants will have the chance to ask these questions of themselves and to explore with their friends and neighbors what makes a great leader in their communities.
The event will be held at Concordia University's George R. White Library & Learning Center Lobby, and is free & open to all.
Through the Conversation Project, Oregon Humanities offers free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state's future.
