January 29, 2019 | Canterbury SchoolThis event is an opportunity for NCAIS educators involved in all aspects of service learning to come together in community to learn, share, and collaborate around the topic of service learning. We are #BetterTogether. How can we leverage what we are doing to strengthen the NCAIS community and beyond? Our day will include an hour of formal programming as well as lunch, but will mostly be an opportunity for those doing the same work to spend time getting to know each other, learning about each school's service learning program, and brainstorming ideas for growth and development. We hope that you will join us! Agenda: 10:00am Welcome and Opening Activity 10:30am The Heart of the Matter: Why We Prioritize Service Learning | Melanie Woodard & Roxanne Gilgallon Compassion is a strength and a wise way of being in the world. More than an emotion, compassion is a motivational stance to recognize and respond to the suffering of others and to cultivate an open-hearted, willingness to deepen our connection to each other and our communities. Compassion is relational.
