RSVP for NYCoRE’s April Member Meeting

What has been your experience with the arts? What is activism? How are the arts involved with activism?

Art has incredible power. The arts can express all sides of our humanity. It can provide people with different ways to understand life, and most importantly, can touch us, connect us, and unite us. At times, the impact a work of art has can also be challenging and difficult, and can activate dialogue. Viewing the arts can allow for important and necessary conversations to happen.

During this month’s political education we will:
– Reflect on our own experience(s) with the arts.
– Reflect on art and activism.
– Look at an image of visual artwork and/or a video of a performance, in order to participate during a small group conversation.

In the second half of the meeting, we will have some time for Working Groups to meet and for new members to become oriented with NYCoRE in our NYCoRE 101 session.

Please join us!

RSVP for NYCoRE’s March Member Meeting

For this month’s political education, NYQueer will center the experiences of transgender and gender non-conforming students and community members in order to discuss best practices teachers and other allies can use to support and uplift trans* students. We will discuss the new DOE guidelines for trans* students, the current SCOTUS trial–Gloucester County vs Gavin Grimm, read and discuss articles and videos forefronting the intersectional realities facing trans* youth and adults by Janet Mock and Laverne Cox, and brainstorm actionable steps we can take in our classrooms to affirm gender diverse students.

In the second half of the meeting, we will have some time for Working Groups to meet and for new members to become oriented with NYCoRE in our NYCoRE 101 session.

Please join us!
