Pathways to Belonging Day of Activities and Showcase

 

Taking place on May 16 from 9:30 to 3 P. M. IN PERSON at The Family Centre (65 Hanson, Avenue, Kitchener) Pathways to Belonging is a full day of sharing, storytelling, activities and learning about the various paths and intersections a person with diverse identities, including disability, can explore for meaningful connection and contribution on their journey to belonging. The paths to belonging explored will include the various social roles a person has in their life (friend, uncle, neighbour, student etc.), the path to belonging through self-expression and empowerment, and the path to belonging through voice, choice, confidence and personal power.
