Over the last two months, the Sabo Center has hosted our inaugural Community Changemakers collaborators, the East Phillips Neighborhood Institute, for six talks and three workshops. We’re now inviting proposals from our campus community, including students, staff, and faculty, for collaborative projects with EPNI in the spring semester. Sabo Center staff will lead this work and provide support.
These projects work to build relationships with EPNI staff to share their knowledge and experience, and to provide experiential and community engaged learning experiences for our campus communities. Proposals may be organized around an event, course development, lesson plan, campus project or whatever else you might imagine.
Some examples for potential projects might include:
→ connecting a student group or class to work with Forest Hunt to revitalize the Indigenous Student Plot in the Community Garden
→ bringing Sean Lim to your class or student organization to collaboratively plan and complete an art project (banner, screen prints, stickers, buttons) around an issue or event
→ invite Kieran Morris to class to talk about the uses and importance of community gardens and urban farms for building and sustaining communities
→ work with EPNI and Sabo Staff to develop a new course or lesson plan
Applications will be accepted until Friday, January 2nd. Please submit your proposal using the short Google Form linked below or email Jenean Gilmer to discuss your ideas. Reach out with any questions or concerns to gilmerje@augsburg.edu.
