Community Leadership Engagement
On behalf of the City of Fort Worth and the Task Force on Race and Culture, you are invited to participate in FREE Community Leadership Engagement around the topics of race and culture.
This leadership engagement is intended to create a safe space to nurture personal and professional integrity and the courage to act on it; develop an understanding that we are in this together; develop an appreciation of the value of "otherness"; develop an ability to hold tension in life-giving ways; develop a sense of personal voice and urgency; and develop a capacity to create community.
Estrus Tucker, Interim Director of The Center for Courage & Renewal, will be facilitating the leadership engagement utilizing The Center for Courage & Renewal's Circle of Trust® guidelines and Touchstones®, as well as the practices of Parker J. Palmer's Habits of the Heart®. The engagement will include:
- Narrative Change: Examine ways to create and distribute new narratives in communication, digital and social media, in a way that can influence people's perspectives, perceptions and behaviors about and toward one another. Explore the efficacy of our diverse stories as resources for advancing civic engagement and positive community change.
- Racial and Culture Healing and Relationship Building: Focus on ways to heal from the wounds of the past, to build mutually respectful relationships across racial and ethnic lines that honor and value each person's humanity, and to build trusting intergenerational and diverse community relationships that better reflect our common humanity.
