Practice While You Play: Strategizing & Building a Framework for Your Community

This summative workshop will invite participants to envision and apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout the series. We will identify and assess barriers to family engagement in their community, as well as asset map their community in order to create a culturally responsive framework to address barriers. Together, through participant-facilitated dialogue and movement, we will practice the sharing of culture and exchanging of knowledge through play and critical inquiry. We will brainstorm and strategize methods of integrating play into daily interactions with their families and community. Finally, we will make space to ask and answer any remaining questions or concerns, collect feedback, and complete a closing activity.
