Becoming Neighbours
Workshops 2023

UBC Robson Square and on Zoom
Becoming Neighbours is a 5-part community-engaged dialogue series, organized by Kinbrace Community Society and Worn Words Media. Each interactive workshop explores one of Kinbrace’s time-tested values to unpack the complexities of these practices in communities of forced displacement. The series includes panels (refugee and Indigenous expertise), media screenings, roundtable conversations, and conversation over food. This first workshop focuses on ‘welcome’ and opens up different cultural practices of welcome and the postures needed to make space for each other in intercultural community. It includes the screening of an excerpt from Welcomestory, produced by CMS faculty affiliate, Dr. Erin Goheen Glanville (UBC). This event will be of interest to individuals already involved in refugee communities—either at a personal or sector level—in order to foster a more thoughtful culture of welcome in BC.
Co-sponsors: Vancouver Foundation, VanCity, UBC Office of Community-Engagement, Research Creation & Narratives Research Groups of the Centre for Migration Studies.
