Notes on the Open Space workgroup that dealt with how to incorporate the various communities into the conversation about Social Justice in the symposium. This was two groups that were incorporated into one. One of them originally was to discuss how to bring the ATD to immigrant communities.
There were 7 people attending and we mostly discussed the different communities that would benefit from the sypmposium.
Rocio spoke to the need of the Spanish Symposium to include social issues relevant to Latin communities, those that Hispanics could relate to.
A suggestion was made to write a letter to the Pachamama Board to include Rocio as a member, considering she is one of the few “condor” like facilitator and originally from Ecuador.
One of the members spoke about her involvement with Gospel Churches and their need for hope.
A general consensus was reached that the symposium needs to awaken hope in the hopeless.
Another facilitator alluded to the necessity to have the translated Spanish Symposium be a pilot for taking the symposium to other non-Caucasian communities, tailoring the symposium to each community with facts and stories that relate to their particular backgrounds.
