10:00am – 3:00pm Eastern each day

Imagining possibilities takes practice!

Many of us doubt our own worth and are held back by what we see as our failings and inadequacies. We often find it difficult to be comfortable with difference, seeing it as a negative and judging people harshly. In the world we live in ‘possibility thinking’ can be a challenge. At the heart of any Person-centred work is the capacity to imagine possibilities for people and their lives. Throughout this course we will

  • focus on gifts and capacities for ourselves and for others
  • look at language and how words shape perceptions.
  • offer the Values of Inclusion to encourage people to think differently.

This course is intended to encourage participants to develop their capacity to think in terms of possibilities and in creating freedom in their imagination to see themselves and their situation differently and the future of people labelled with disability or difference. The course will be practical and interactive, with exercises that encourage participants to see the best in themselves and in others. Come and join us…see where your imagination can take you!

People, Places, & Presence: Reflecting on Life in Neighbourhood & Community

An OIFN Reflective Practice Conversation

Wednesday, September 14, 2022

What do meaningful leisure roles looks like? Why is presence in community important?

Join us as we explore what it means to create rich, meaningful lives and consider what it takes for people to have full citizenship.

Together, we will reflect on our own relationships, leisure identities, and social roles and challenge our perceptions of inclusion to inspire new ways of thinking about belonging in neighbourhood and community.

 

Join the OIFN Community of Practice on Zoom Video Conferencing to:

  • Come together with other people, family members, loved ones, independent facilitators, and supportive allies who feel called to social justice and social action.
  • Share experiences, ideas, and stories about building meaningful relationships, staying connected, and cultivating spaces for rich dialogue.
  • Learn together about belonging and inclusion, Independent Facilitation, and how we can bravely move forward together in a movement for change.
