Arts, Education and Community at SJFC 3/9

Second of three lunchtime meetings at St. John Fisher College. Intent is to bring groups in the Peace Directory to talk. <!--break--> Please join us for a stimulating conversation about Arts, Education, and Community! Arts and technology integrated educational programs promote peace and social justice by engaging people of all ages in creative, expressive, and constructive activities that result in greater awareness of community needs and resources, stronger connections between individuals and groups, and a sense of purpose and future that is often lacking in underserved populations. Kristin A. Rapp and Sara Hughes of ArtPeace, Inc. and Eric Grace of Art for Everyone will discuss and demonstrate innovative educational approaches proven to foster positive youth and community development. Come and find out about exciting projects being developed with the Rochester City School District, the Mayor's Office, Rochester Institute of Technology, and others in our community and how you can get involved! Time: 11:45 to 12:45 Date: Friday, March 9th Place: St. John Fisher College, 3690 East Avenue (north of Pittsford on Route 96). Held in the &quot;COP Conference Room&quot; on the second floor of the Campus Center. Park in Lot A or B near the East Avenue entrance. Walk north into the campus along the left side of Kearney Hall (with the steeple). The order of buildings is Kearney, then Lavery Library, then the Campus Center. This is a little bit of a walk from the parking lot. You are welcome to bring a brown bag lunch. Coffee and tea will be served. This program is next in a series of Friday lunchtime programs at St. John Fisher College, sponsored by PeaceWorks of Greater Rochester. Our February Friday program was &quot;GETTING REAL ABOUT RACE: Reclaiming Discourse in Demogogic Times,&quot; presented by author Bruce A. Jacobs. It was thoughtful, interesting, and very well received. Our third Friday program, on March 30th, will be on &quot;Women's Empowerment&quot; and will feature: - Elaine Johnson of the Rochester Raging Grannies, - Alberta Roesser, president of National Organization for Women (NOW), Rochester Chapter, and - Linda Heron Wind, president of CIRCLE, Inc (Community of Individuals Re-visioning and Celebrating Life on Earth). SEE YOU THERE! Hank Stone for PeaceWorks of Greater Rochester
