#WeAreHingham: A Community Conversation

South Shore Conservatory - Jane Carr Amphitheatre 1 Conservatory Drive, Hingham, MA, United States

#WeAreHingham, the community based visual project, is the talk of the town, but we want make sure that all who live, work, study or worship in Hingham are part of the conversation! We will break into small, moderated groups for an open dialogue about our individual and collective experiences in and hopes for our town, sharing thoughts on topics such as why we chose to live here and our aspirations for this community. Registration required so we can properly plan for small group moderators. We are very excited to be offering light bites from Clandestine Kitchen and beer from Untold Brewing for purchase following the moderated discussion. These local businesses will be donating 25% of their proceeds from the event. We are very lucky to have Liora Norwich, Executive Director of the Network for Social Justice, planning and facilitating this event with us. For more information on the #WeAreHingham visual project and how to still participate by having your portrait included, please visit www.wearehingham.com.

We are Hingham: Words with Neighbors

Hingham Heritage Museum 34 Main Street, Hingham, MA, United States

Spend a fun afternoon honing your understanding for easier, more effective conversations about diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging. Ever wonder what the deal is with pronouns these days? Or what exactly are microaggressions? What is the difference between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation anyway? Or maybe you think you know but aren’t quite sure? You’re not alone! Many people hesitate to talk about issues related to identity and diversity for fear of saying the wrong thing and hurting someone’s feelings - or embarrassing themselves. We invite you to come explore these concepts in a fun, judgment-free, “word-game” atmosphere. A few promises: You WILL NOT be required to speak if you don’t want to. You may sit and listen. But, hopefully you will have an opportunity to smile and laugh. You WILL NOT be judged or otherwise made to feel embarrassed that you do or do not have a master’s degree in DEIB lingo. You WILL have fun, meet new community members, and, hopefully, learn something new and useful so you can feel more confident engaging in anti-bias dialogue in the future! There WILL be free light refreshments. Please register in advance using the form below as space is limited!

Candidates Forum on Equity

Live Stream on HUC's Facebook page or visit this page the night of the event
