She will return <br /> to this topic. <br /> Baha'is sent information about Project Empathy, a performance based project. People are <br /> paired up and tell one anothertheir true personal stories. They pair eight people with different <br /> backgrounds to share one another's stories through performance and dance.Something else <br /> we can look at. The link: Green acres.org <br /> Ms. Nadeau mentioned they had a public showing in Elliot, Maine at The Seacoast Theatre, <br /> you could also sign upto a livezoom. It was a fewweeks ago, and she got a ticket. It was <br /> wonderful,they had a twist on what Mash pee did, two people over a period of time, then each <br /> told the other persons story. It was interesting to see how that developed. There was a <br /> director who was coaching them, it was like a workshop. He talked at the end of the process. <br /> He would lead the conversation and guide how to listen. There was song and dance that was <br /> included.A musician played the keyboard and a dancer performed a dance while others <br /> spoke. The workshop was the couples getting to know one another.At the end they took <br /> questions.The most important thing to take away was have conversation.A theatre group <br /> would take this on. Chairwoman mentioned CotuitCenterforthe Arts. <br /> Another invitation she received,as she mentioned last meeting, BystanderTraining from <br /> Barnstable.They had fu nding forother towns to participate. If you go through this training you <br /> can give a presentation at libraries etc. She will get back to the group if Mashpee Library will <br /> host her, she spoke to Human Rights Club if theywantto have it in the classrooms, and she <br /> will do that as well. You choose whatthe right action will be if you see someone being bullied. <br /> A key item learned was not to focus on the harasser, you really need to focus on the victim. <br /> League of Women Voters has a subcommittee for DEI. It has a book club approach, she is <br /> already in a book club in FL that already covered this book, Difficult Conversations with a <br /> Black Man. This is one of the less intense books to start with, she will most likely be leading <br /> one of those groups. <br /> MEMBER UPDATES <br /> A good month for Inclusion and Diversity - Mr. Kupferman's Article, July 23rd <br /> He will send it out today via e-mail. Chairwoman is expressing having mixed feelings about <br /> himwriting an article on Critical Race Theory. Is that smart for our community? By bringing <br /> that up do we entice the negative thinkers? It hasn't been an issue here. <br /> 3 <br />
