In My Shoes ...
2019–20 Engaged Learning Series focuses on perspectives
When you tell a story from your perspective, it helps the listener better understand and connect to you, the storyteller. To encourage an empathetic approach to hearing others’ viewpoints, opinions or beliefs, 91¶ÌÊÓƵ’s Center for Community Engaged Learning has chosen the theme of “In My Shoes … ” for its 2019-20 Engaged Learning Series (ELS).
Events will focus on finding and sharing stories and perspectives that may otherwise be untold or underrepresented and will encourage civil dialogue.
Since 2012, the Weber State community has engaged in a campuswide conversation around a single topic. The first three years focused on themes of water, air and food. Civility and matters of fact were recent discussions. The series attempts to raise awareness, impact personal behavior and increase public engagement.
