Facilitation Reflection

940 Words4 Pages

We conducted our facilitation on Poverty and Race. The group that we held our facilitation with was the student ambassadors. Our person of contact, Rob Ward, was extremely helpful in assisting us leading up to the facilitation. He was very easy to work with and I hope I have the opportunity to work with him again in the future. Our facilitation took place on Monday, November 16, at 8:15pm in the Student Center on UNCW’s campus.
Going into the facilitation we were not exactly sure what to expect. We knew that the students who become student ambassadors are typically very outgoing and motivated, so we were hoping that the discussion would flow naturally. Our concerns were that there would be a low turnout of people or that the participants …show more content…

Each bag contained a different number of Skittles. During the exercise different opportunities would be presented and if the students wished to take advantage of those opportunities, they had to consume a certain number of Skittles. The point of the exercise was to show that each person is born with certain advantages and disadvantages. They all seemed to really enjoy the exercise. During our discussion period they spoke to the fact that it helped them to realize some people started off with less than others and that “it wasn’t …show more content…

They all engaged and seemed genuinely interested in the topic. Each of them offered thoughtful responses to our discussion prompts. Throughout the facilitation they engaged in dialogue that led us to believe they were grasping the points we were trying to convey. At one point, one of the students acknowledged their own privelage referencing the fact that they were all currently at a four year university. At the end of this experience, we believe that the ambassadors truly gained a deeper understand of the issue of poverty and race and as facilitaors we believe we have improved and gained invaluable

I have an innate want to succeed.” Kennedi, who received a scholarship to Howard University, the historically black university in Washington, D.C., describes her first impression of Howard University as a community filled with well-rounded black people, a notion that many others share with her. She also shared her favorite Howard memory: her first week on Howard’s campus when she first heard and sang the words to the Black National Anthem, “lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring,” in unison with hundreds of other Howard University students and staff all while holding up her fist. Although Kennedi’s first impression of Howard University is heart- warming.

An event that we held as the Hmong Organization Promoting Education, we talked about Building Our Future. This event focused on the international abusive marriages within the Hmong community and I had discussed with other Hmong male-identifying students what we could do to support the Hmong women and those who identify as Hmong LGBTQ+. From this event, I began developing my social justice identity and gradually started engaging in discussions with social justice topics such as privilege, prejudice, and many more. It eventually led me to pursuing a Racial and Ethnic studies minor that has contributed greatly to my knowledge of institutional influences and the inequalities that exist within American society. With all this previous experience that I have done, I hope to engage in discussions and events with community members and professionals in raising awareness of social justice and mental health

Dear Broncos for Equality, I would like to express my ultimate gratitude on being selected to provide this new organization with a few recommendations in order to be a successful social justice organization at Cal Poly Pomona. Specifically, I will discuss the Black Panther Party (BPP), American Indian Movement (AIM), Justice for Janitors (JfJ), Gay Latinos Alliance (GALA), and The Young Lords and how each of the organizations faced their experiences of injustice regarding the issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Broncos for Equality would greatly benefit from knowing and applying some tactics these organization 's utilized to fight against oppression. The African American community had long since fought against their oppressors because

Diversity Event on Privilege This diversity week I attended a seminar about acceptance and privilege, which was run by the members of the student senate. The meeting was interesting because it was run by my peers, and they incorporated many different cool aspects into their presentation. They opened the meeting up by us playing an ice breaker called Entourage where we all walked around playing rock, paper, scissor shoot while we walked around getting to know each other.

At my school, I am a co-leader of Sankofa, my school’s Black Awareness Club. We educate the student body on racial issues and have discussions about what it means to be black in our society. Throughout high school, I have helped this club grow from a few students to a flourishing space where students and teachers gather to better themselves and our school. After every event I feel progress being made. From the transformed way the members in my club interact in their community to the increasing number of curious new members, this club are advancing the presence of black students in my school.

Overview: The group did an excellent job of presenting their research to the class and incorporating all of the canons. Their presentation was very thorough and I greatly enjoyed the “weebly page” that was displayed in the background while they spoke. Every group member had a part to speak and most members were well rehearsed and knew their information. The group spoke on multiple issues that African Americans face while enrolled in school. These topics ranged from: the school to prison pipeline, with a very large amount of young black men being in jail instead of school, and the lack of pre-school educated black children due to the lack of funding.

If there is something that being in the military has taught me, is that not everyone understands the same way, nor do they appreciate the same things. Just like in the Air Force, my classmates come from a variety of backgrounds and social settings. What seems like a societal norm to me, might not be normal for the non-American peer. My choice of topic and delivery for this course will be affected because my cultural sensitivity will do it’s best to deliver the message in a non-threating and non-offensive manner. “One of the most important things you need to learn as a public speaker is showing respect for your audience” (The Ethics of Public Speaking, 2016).

Approximately a week or so ago I attended the event “A Conversation on Women of Color and Domestic Violence” which was held by AU PEERS, Peer Educators For The Elimination of Relationship and Sexual Violence. In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, PEERS hosted this event to focus on women of color specifically and how they are affected by domestic violence as well as how they are treated within society. One of the topics that the group talked about for the longest time, and that I found very thought-provoking, was fetishization. The conversation originally started out talking about how these tropes were everywhere in the media and within everyday life and how that was problematic. We discussed how this is especially prevalent this time of year with Halloween speedily approaching because fetishization and cultural appropriation combine together to create incredibly problematic

Over the past one and half month, the class of PDE 502 (Counselling and Career Education) has taught me some major lessons for life in dealing with the clients in response to their emotional needs. The role of a counsellor is not unlike that of a friend where by it is nurtured by being in each other’s company, talking over everyday issues and sharing feelings. However, what sets a counsellor apart is their experience and the ability to apply counselling theories and techniques to assist people in gaining awareness, insight and explore ways of solving their own issues.
