2025-04-07 18:45 - 20:15 UTC | Riverside High School, 2900 SW Borland Rd, Tualatin, Oregon, 97062, United States
When: 📅 Date & Time: Monday, April 7 | 6:45 – 8:15 p.m.

Where: 📍 Location: Riverside High School

The West Linn-Wilsonville School Board invites parent-guardians who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and have currently enrolled students in the district to participate in a Listening Session focused on the district’s anti-racism policies (Policy AC, Policy ACB) and related practices.

This session is an opportunity for parent-guardians to share their experiences, perspectives, and insights directly with Board Directors in a guided discussion facilitated by an experienced moderator. The feedback gathered will help inform the Board’s work on Board Goal No. 1 and ongoing efforts toward equity and inclusion.

The WLWV School District has designated this event as an open meeting, and all community members are welcome to observe. However, to ensure that as many parent-guardians as possible have the opportunity to participate in the discussion, they ask that BIPOC parent-guardians RSVP through the following form if they plan to take part in the conversation. Space is limited.

Otherness and Empathy
2025-04-10 15:00 - 17:00 | Oregon
Otherness is the state of being different from the members of a group. Whether we are talking about us mammals, us Oregonians, or us bird-watchers, anyone who is not part of us is part of the other. How does otherness shape our sense of identity and our perception of others? In this conversation, we will reflect on our personal experiences of belonging to uncover the universality of otherness and examine how we can use empathy to bridge the divides in isolated communities and foster the acceptance of diverse voices. This exploration of otherness aims to cultivate empathy for both ourselves and others, leading to a more inclusive understanding of our identities and those around us as well as exploring otherness as a form of strength and our own uniqueness.

The Science and Story of Awe
2025-04-29 15:00 - 17:00 | Oregon
During times of great change, anxiety and overwhelm can keep us stuck asking “What can I do?” on repeat, often leading to fear and isolation. The experience of awe, as employed in both science and story, can help us all get unstuck. What is awe, and what good does it do? Join Amber Peoples for an experience and exploration of the transformative nature of wonder.

Talking About Values Across Political Divides
2025-05-06 16:00 - 17:00 | Oregon
“How can I be me without making it difficult for you to be you?” This question gets at the fundamental challenge of being in society together. We live in a contentious political world, and it’s difficult to talk about our deepest values and beliefs in safe, civil, and respectful ways. In 2021, the Pew Research Center found that nearly six in ten Americans felt that political conversations with those you disagree with are generally stressful and frustrating, as opposed to being interesting and informative. If we avoid such conversations, we lose opportunities to form a community with others that reflects our best selves. How can we learn to share our values in ways that bring us together rather than push us further apart?

Facilitator: Lowell GreathouseWhen: 4:00 p.m. Pacific
