LGBTQ+ Awareness Training: Diverse Identities Alliance (DIA)
The goal of this session is to initiate discussions and guide our community towards acceptance. We want to raise awareness and provide insight and advice around LGBTQ+ topics and encourage people to come together while providing a safe space for queer people and allies alike. The three pillars of our vision are education, safe space, and mental health awareness, all three of which we strive to see in ISY and the wider international school community in the near future.

Amplifying Compassion and Service: How digital storytelling can equip learners to create meaningful impact through service learning: Shei Ascencio & LeeAnne Lavender
In the past 18 months, we have had the opportunity to explore new and innovative approaches for teaching and learning in virtual spaces. We have needed to develop reserves of compassion: for ourselves as we navigate new and unknown experiences, and for others as we figure out how to engage in meaningful service experiences online. For service learning and global citizenship educators, this has offered new perspectives and possibilities for youth to engage with indirect service, advocacy and research – digital storytelling has surfaced in many contexts as the platform and vehicle for purposeful engagement. In this workshop, we will focus on practical and concrete strategies for successful service learning and digital storytelling in a virtual or hybrid environment. You will come away with a toolkit to increase student agency in creating meaningful and intentional service learning experiences.

Documentar - A Time Capsule of Now: Cathy Berger Kaye
We are still emerging from a transformative and unique time, in many ways unanticipated and unprecedented. As part of all that transpired, as educators we continually aim to care for all aspects of our youth and community, including their wellbeing. To this end, documentar was created amid the pandemic, as a method, a process, and a global platform for youth to express their inner life in this moment. Together we continue to capture what the world looks like through their eyes. With photos, art, poetry, spoken word, video, and narrative, we have learned in countless ways how youth experienced quarantine and isolation, social and racial injustice, environmental challenges, and have emerged to take action with an authentic desire to impact change. Experience documentar – and know how we can care, connect, and hold the stories and experiences of others. An invitation to be present and creative, and to capture the moment!

Unpacking the Dangers of a Single Narrative: A lens to authentic connections: Christopher Dadefumi (Chris)
Unpacking the Dangers of a Single Narrative: A lens to authentic connections: Christopher Dadefumi (Chris)
As human beings, we are meaning-making organisms. To survive, to be successful, and to thrive we continually make meaning of the world around us so we may know how to negotiate our way. What we observe, together with the stories we are told and shown over and over, help us solidify that meaning. However, what happens when a single narrative about a culture or a community and its rituals, practices, behavior, and circumstances come to be accepted as truth? What happens when this is applied as truth about a people – their capabilities, potential or limitations? We begin with looking at ourselves, because understanding what single narratives, assumptions and biases we hold is the foundational work we get to do in service of building more equitable partnerships with communities that are not our own.
