Dear all, here are workshops with topics relevant to Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (J.E.D.I. !) Regards, Vesna From: Team CommUNITY <team@digitalrights.community> We are happy to announce the sessions and workshops of the inaugural Community Health Village. This year’s theme is Sustainable Networks & Movements, and features diverse mental healthcare practitioners who will share knowledge on how to achieve healthy and sustainable work environments in our communities and spaces. Topics range from conflict resolution to therapy to Mayan healing. The Village was designed based on the findings of our 2020 Community Health Report. /// While this workshop is not part of the village, it's worth mentioning! This is being hosted by our MENA Meetup Group!! @ October 21 | CKS: Even the Finest of Warriors Yara Sallam will discuss her book, Even the Finest Warriors, which deals with issues that have been long ignored because they have been categorized as personal issues: personal health, financial security, psychological health, and more. https://digitalrights.formstack.com/forms/cks52 <https://digitalrights.formstack.com/forms/cks52> // Community Health Village // @ Nov 2 | Understanding & Designing your Mental Health Plan Mathero Nkhalamba will demystify diverse types of healing practices, with an eye towards cultural and religious considerations, and help you understand how to design your own mental health plan. https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village <https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village> @ Nov 9 | Regenerative Activism Explore collective and personal tools that make our activism more effective and sustainable, while ensuring that our orgs and movements reflect the values we are fighting for. https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village <https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village>@ Nov 10 | Imagining Alternative Worlds through Activism Three transdisciplinary designers will take us on a journey to imagine and make concrete a future filled with joy and hope.The workshop is inspired by the work of designer James Auger who coined the term “perpetual bridge” - the space between the world as we want it to be and the world as it is now. https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village <https://www.digitalrights.community/blog/2021-community-health-village>@ Nov 11 | Mayan Healing Ceremony Nana Marina, a Ajq’iij, or Mayan spiritual guide from Guatemala, will be conducting wisdom and peace for human rights and digital rights defenders.
