SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning that Transforms: Michigan Stories
DESCRIPTION:We all have a story about learning: an “aha!” moment\, an unexpected detour\, a mistake\, or an experience that changed our perspective about ourselves or the world around us.\n\nYour story might come from a classroom\, research lab\, workplace\, creative project\, community\, or everyday life. Maybe you tried something new\, made an unexpected discovery\, worked through a setback\, or learned from something that didn’t go as planned.\n\nWherever and however your learning happened\, we’d love to hear about it.\n\nIn this workshop\, you'll develop and shape your story with Satori Shakoor\, founder of Detroit’s Secret Society of Twisted Storytellers and a 2017 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow.\n\nWith Satori’s guidance\, you’ll discover what makes your story yours and bring it to life. Come curious and open. No storytelling experience—or polished story—is needed. \n\nAfter the workshop\, you’ll have the option to record your story on video or share it at a live storytelling event in spring 2027. \n\nInterested? Fill out a short form to tell us about yourself: https://forms.gle/GviufLcuXTm4rPcc9 \n\nSpace is limited to 10 people per workshop. The project team will begin reviewing submissions after Oct. 29 and will offer places on a rolling basis until all sessions are full. Early submissions are encouraged for the best chance of receiving a preferred date.\n\nThis workshop is part of Learning That Transforms: Michigan Stories\, a storytelling and video project inviting U-M students\, faculty\, and staff to share their personal learning stories. \n\nThe project is sponsored by the Eileen Lappin Weiser Center for the Learning Sciences\, and is supported by the University of Michigan's Life-Changing Education Initiative.\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What Does It Take to Thrive?
DESCRIPTION:What does it take for young people to thrive?\nSuccess is about more than grades or graduation. Young people thrive when they have the support\, opportunities\, relationships\, and sense of belonging they need to grow and imagine what's possible.\n\nJoin University of Michigan faculty and community members for a lively conversation about what helps young people thrive\, how we can better support them\, and the role we all play in shaping their futures.\n\nBring your perspective\, hear new ones\, and help shape the conversation. Enjoy food and refreshments\, plus a special gift as our thank-you for attending!\n\nAttendees will also have the chance to nominate a local school\, organization\, or community group for grant funding to support education work.
