On Thursday, Nov. 17, from 1:30-2:30 p.m., La Casita will host “Seymourofus Cross-generational Conversation,” a community discussion led by Seymour School third-graders on issues of cultural memory, spaces of belonging and active participation in Syracuse. And from 2:30-4 p.m., community conversation will take place about places of belonging and the future for young people. This is also open to the public.
The discussion is part of La Casita’s series “Community Conversations:Spaces of Belonging & Civic Participation.”
Professionals to be interviewed include:
Seymourofus is a whole-school exploratory learning initiative that places emphasis on creativity, communication, critical thinking and collaboration skills. Community teaching artists, school personnel, students and families work together to integrate instruction with relevant learning and school improvement planning.
The La Casita Cultural Center at the Lincoln Building, 109 Otisco St., in downtown Syracuse, is the only Latino/a cultural center in the region, and is administered by The College of Arts and Sciences for the campus community.
La Casita’s mission is to serve as the bridge between the Latina/o communities of Syracuse and Central New York and Syracuse University’s faculty, students and staff. By offering the space and resources necessary for the development of collaborative, ongoing projects, La Casita hopes to enhance local communities’ capacity for social change and civic participation in the region.
