Cross the Line
Location: 5:30 pm at SU Ballroom B

Presented by The University of Akron Color Line Project: 

• James Slowiak, Dance, Theater & Arts Administration

The goal of this event is to provide a safe space for dialogue to occur around issues of collective importance that come from personal experience.  First, the event will be set in motion with participants engaging in an activity entitled “Cross the Line” to both build common ground and focus discussion of hard issues.  Second, lessons of our experiences will be unpacked through “Story Circles” where participants listen and share stories for reflection and building community. 

Time: 20 minutes for “Cross the Line” activity; 75 minutes for “Story Circle” activity and discussion.
