Food stations, musical performances, games & other activities will be set up throughout the quad.

Community Celebration of Augsburg University on September 5

The 2017 Nobel Peace Prize Forum is fast-approaching! This year the Nobel Peace Prize Forum will be honoring the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet, and their work creating peace during a tumultuous time in Tunisia’s history. World leaders, activists, civil rights leaders, and many others will be gathering at the Forum to promote peacemaking and create a dialogue among both the local Twin Cities community and the greater global community.
In the spirit of fostering dialogue and engagement during the nobel peace prize forum, local and national artists have collaborated to create an outdoor exhibition of installations across the Augsburg University campus. These installations visually represent a form of dialogue and are connected by the forum’s concentric circles. This work highlights the layered and often overlapping complexity of finding solutions to global issues; that small moments of inspiration can resonate through our actions; and that art may stand in the center of an ever-expanding understanding of our world.
In “Future Light,” artist Asia Ward asks us to consider potential uses of sunlight under a canopy of dichroic film panels. “Common thread” by Background Stories provides an active, changing visual narrative created by the participants of this Forum. Design & Agency’s canopy of “Flint Project” creates space for reflection on our resources, how our wellbeing hangs in the balance, and young artists from Chicago’s National Youth Art Movement Against Gun Violence (NYAM) are not just seen and heard but in fact hold space on campus. They invite discussion through provocative large scale artwork, both physically and virtually.
Students and staff can attend the Forum for free! The Forum is held at Augsburg from the 13th-16th of September. If you would like to attend the Nobel Peace Prize Forum you can register as a representative or a delegate at the Nobel Peace Prize Forum website: http://nobelpeaceprizeforum.org/

The Cedar Cultural Center Presents: Plaza Performance ft. HARBI and Rahmo Rose Band on Friday, June 30, 2017, from 11:00 a.m. -12 p.m.
Cost: Free
Location: The Cedar’s Community Plaza, located to the right of The Cedar’s doors.

Local Somali percussionist Harbi will debut his work “Heartbeat of Durbaanka,” a new work funded by a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board Cultural Community Partnership program.

Most recently, Harbi has been the percussionist for five residencies as part of The Cedar Cultural Center’s Midnimo program. Launched in 2014, Midnimo consists of multi-week residencies with Somali musicians from around the world that include public concerts and artist-led workshops, discussions, and activities throughout the state.

And…

Rahmo Rose Band, a group featuring The Cedar’s Somali Artist-in-Residence Rahmo Rose, performs in collaboration with Augsburg College’s Small Jazz Ensemble. The group was created as part of The Cedar’s most recent Midnimo residency, where they opened for London-based Somali qaarami singer Nimco Yasisn in Minneapolis, Mankato, and St. Cloud. They’ll perform for a fourth time on The Cedar’s Community Plaza.

Use Your Strengths to Enhance Your Leadership Seminar – Thursday, June 29th, 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Everyone is welcome!!

Kate Ostrem from 9 Open Doors will be presenting on insight into Enneagram:
We often hear the message “use your strengths.” But is it possible to take our strengths too far? Kate Ostrem, of 9 Open Doors, will explain the connection between strengths and weaknesses and walk us through a thought-provoking exercise that will have us looking at our strengths in a new light. She will also briefly introduce us to the nine different styles of the Enneagram, a personality system that illuminates what happens when we overuse our strengths. Join us for this eye-opening workshop with your friends from the Augsburg MBA program!

Presenter:
Kate Ostrem is certified as an Enneagram educator by Anne Murée with Olive Branchways, and has studied with some of the most prominent thought leaders in the Enneagram community. She attended St. Olaf College and has worked in fundraising, communications and marketing in the non-profit world for sixteen years. Her 9 Open Doors work has varied from a small group of friends in a backyard to retreats to a conference in New Zealand. Described as a sincere, gifted teacher who presents in an accessible and fun way, Kate looks forward to the day when everyone knows about the Enneagram so that we all have meaningful insight into our habits and behaviors.

Time and Location:
Augsburg College
Oren Gateway Center Room 100
Thursday June 29th, 5:00 p.m.-6:30 p.m.
