That figure reached 103 million in mid-2022. Among them are nearly 27.1 million refugees\, around half of whom are under the age of 18. While these young people require support\, they are also uniquely capable of effective change and leadership of mobilizing civic engagement in their home communities and in the world. Yet\, the odds often seem to be stacked against them. What can be done about this? This panel tries to piece together a framework for the role of youth leadership in systemic change. By using three countries—Afghanistan\, Belarus\, Myanmar—as case studies\, the panelists representing these countries will address the challenges and opportunities of the generation that will be leading important changes to achieve the freedom for their countries. \n\n\n\nAn accompanying reception with food and refreshments will follow the panel to give students an opportunity to engage with the panelists. \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP here. \n\n\n\nPanelists \n\n\n\nMANASI SUBRAMANIAM: Editor-in-Chief\, Penguin Random House India (Yale World Fellow 2022) \n\n\n\nMINAMI TSUBOUCHI: Founder\, BEYOND Tomorrow (Yale World Fellow 2022) \n\n\n\nMOHAMMAD “MUSA” MAHMODI (Afghanistan): Human Rights Lawyer (Yale World Fellow 2020) \n\n\n\nANDREI KUREICHIK (Belarus): Playwright\, director\, and civil activist (Yale World Fellow 2022) \n\n\n\nDAVID MOE (Myanmar): Postdoctoral Associate\, Southeast Asian Studies\, Yale University URL:https://dwighthall.org/event/global-migration-and-youth-leadership-in-the-pursuit-of-freedom/ LOCATION:Luce Hall\, Room 101\, 34 Hillhouse Ave\, New Haven\, Connecticut\, 06511\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://dwighthall.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Global-Migration-Youth-Leadership-Panel.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221203T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221203T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T194945 CREATED:20221202T170227Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221202T170229Z UID:41076-1670068800-1670086800@dwighthall.org SUMMARY:Volunteer and Support Voting Rights with the Full Citizens Coalition DESCRIPTION:Register here. \n\n\n\nFull Citizens Coalition is conducting a survey to assess the experience of registered voters who were incarcerated in Connecticut at the time of the most recent election cycle. \n\n\n\nStop in Dwight Hall this Saturday\, 12/3\, help address and stuff envelopes\, and meet other students committed to upholding the rights of all citizens. \n\n\n\nYou can select a time slot when you register.

Inspired by our executive director’s stories about her own journey as a refugee\, the series aims to shed light on refugee experiences and narratives across an array of mediums\, from art to academia and more. \n\n\n\nThe stories of refugee women are those of bravery\, resiliency\, and courage. Having navigated hardships while adjusting to life in a new country\, they offer an essential perspective on what it means to embrace identity and perservere above difficulties. Refugee women are vital leaders\, lawmakers\, entrepreneurs and thinkers in our society. Though their voices oftentimes go unheard\, the Speaker Series aims to highlight those such empowering figures in our communities. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we speak with Miss Arab USA 2022\, Marwa Lahlou and Basma Alawee\, Executive Director of WeaveTales. \n\n\n\nOriginally born in Morocco\, Lahlou moved to the United States at the age of ten. As the only Arab in her high school\, she faced severe discrimination for her background. However\, in connecting directly with her community\, she discovered the beauty in her culture and its inherent unity. Since then\, Lahlou has committed herself to promoting an understanding and acceptance of Arab culture\, taking on several initiatives to that end. One such program led her across several Connecticut schools to share the values of Arab culture. She went on to gain her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Sciences\, graduating Magna Cum Laude\, and received an MBA in International Business Management and Marketing with high honors at the University of New Haven. \n\n\n\nAs a refugee from Iraq\, Basma Alawee has worked towards advocating for refugee voices and rights throughout the world. She aims to unite refugee and immigrant communities in order to expand conversations surrounding their well-being as well as to build collective understanding. To that end\, Alawee founded WeaveTales in 2019 to develop programs to help refugees use the mediums of writing and storytelling to share their lived experiences. Additionally\, she works as the National Campaign Director for We Are All America and National Partnership of New Americans. Alawee’s ultimate goal is to build inclusivity and acceptance in the national narrative surrounding refugees and Muslims.

Registered participants for this event will be given the option to purchase a meal between Tuesday\, January 24th and Monday\, January 30th with a curbside pickup time of Friday\, February 3rd from 4 to 6pm – in time to pickup and be ready to join the virtual event at 7pm. We will offer two pick up locations: Yale’s OISS Office (421 Temple Street\, New Haven\, CT 06511) and at Sanctuary Kitchen (109 Legion Avenue\, New Haven\, CT 06519). \n\n\n\nPlease note that this event Is private\, and the zoom link is reserved only for ticket holders. The book is available for purchase online\, as well as at local New Haven bookstores. \n\n\n\nWe are honored to host this event with our partners at the Yale University Office of International Students and Scholars\, Yale University’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs\, The MacMillan Center at Yale University\, and Dwight Hall at Yale University. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout Roya: ROYA HAKAKIAN is the author of Assassins of the Turquoise Palace and Journey from the Land of No\, and has published two collections of poetry in Persian. Her essays have appeared in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal\, and on NPR’s All Things Considered. She has collaborated on programming for leading journalism units in network television\, including 60 Minutes. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship\, and served on the editorial board of World Affairs. Since 2015\, she has taught at THREAD\, a writing workshop at Yale\, and is a fellow at the Davenport College at Yale. She lives in Connecticut. \n\n\n\nAbout Carlos: Carlos Eire\, who received his PhD from Yale in 1979\, specializes in the social\, intellectual\, religious\, and cultural history of late medieval and early modern Europe\, with a focus on both the Protestant and Catholic Reformations; the history of popular piety; and the history of the supernatural\, and the history of death. Before joining the Yale faculty in 1996\, he taught at St. John’s University in Minnesota and the University of Virginia\, and was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton for two years. He is the author of War Against the Idols: The Reformation of Worship From Erasmus to Calvin (1986); From Madrid to Purgatory: The Art and Craft of Dying in Sixteenth Century Spain (1995); A Very Brief History of Eternity (2010); Reformations: The Early Modern World (2016); and The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila: A Biography (2019).

It was also awarded the Jaroslav Pelikan Prize by Yale University Press. All of his books are banned in Cuba\, where he has been proclaimed an enemy of the state – a distinction he regards as the highest of all honors. \n\n\n\nAbout Sanctuary Kitchen: At Sanctuary Kitchen\, we partner with immigrants and refugees to build economic opportunity and authentic connections through food.

Dwight Hall will assist in facilitating transportation to and from the conference. Volunteers are asked to register both on this Yale Connect page and via the conference registration page (more info below). \n\n\n\nAbout the Conference: \n\n\n\nThe Northeast Disability and Agriculture Conference is a first-time regional event designed to educate and empower the agricultural community. Through workshops and presentations\, farmer attendees will learn how to better advocate for themselves\, and service provider attendees will learn how to identify potential distress risks within the community. Together attendees will learn how to build a network sharing skills and resources to improve accessibility and reduce industry incidents of suicide. \n\n\n\nAbout Healing by Growing Farms: \n\n\n\nThe conference is presented by Healing by Growing Farms\, a community that fosters a holistic healing approach that reconnects trauma survivors to themselves\, nature\, and the environment. We seek to empower individuals to engage in sustainable and regenerative permaculture. \n\n\n\nInformation for Volunteers: \n\n\n\nThis will be an amazing educational and life experience for volunteers as they engage and interact with attendees from over 7 states and with a community of people with ALL abilities from all walks of life from food justice to food growers to environmental justice to forestry\, fishery and mental health to name a few. \n\n\n\nResponsibilities: Will include but are not limited to the following as other needs may come up on the day of the event. \n\n\n\n* Set-up/Tear-down \n\n\n\nChairs\, tables\, a podium\, microphones\, etc. are all a big part of our conference. Rooms have to be put together with adequate seating for attendees and often\, this involves a quick change to the room layout for another session. Volunteers help to quickly get these spaces set-up and then dismantled again are vital. \n\n\n\n* Coat Check \n\n\n\nPeople don’t really like walking around conferences with their coats and bulky belongings. Most sessions have chairs packed-in pretty close and there’s not a whole lot of room for people to be lugging around a lot of stuff especially when they have physical limitations. Having a few volunteers that will work at an area specifically designed for people to leave and then later pick-up their coats is vital to our event. \n\n\n\n* Greeters/Ushers \n\n\n\nHelping to fill rooms in a systematic way. For the large sessions\, it’s important to evenly fill the space. Having ushers to show people to a specific seat is definitely helpful. Even if we aren’t ushering people\, just having a greeter to help attendees know where to go or just verify that they are at the “right place” is a necessary service. \n\n\n\n* Parking Attendants: As this is an ALL-ABILITIES EVENT and over 40% of the survey respondents reported having some type of limitation \n\n\n\nParking space is always a huge concern and having people that will direct cars will make the most of our available space. It’s one of the more labor-intensive jobs at the conference\, but one of the most important given all the potential limitations attendees may have and the weather. \n\n\n\n* Runners \n\n\n\nMiscellaneous needs pop-up at a moment’s notice. Something may be needed in one of the breakout session rooms\, or a message needs to get posted that a session is going to be in a different location. When things like this happen\, having someone that can quickly attend to it is crucial. These runners keep the pace of the conference moving and help keep our event host and volunteer manager on the know with happenings. \n\n\n\n* Meals/Coffee/Water Station \n\n\n\nKeeping everyone hydrated and fueled at the conference is important. Having someone help set up the meals (breakfast and lunch) and monitor the snacks/coffee and/or water for attendees is really important especially when done with a smile. \n\n\n\n* Information Table Attendant \n\n\n\nThere’s plenty happening during a conference and attendees will frequently have questions. They’ll need location information\, time information and sometimes just a little help to find the best session for them\, the healthcare room and the resources room. \n\n\n\n* Registration Desk \n\n\n\nHaving people to get attendees registered and off on their way at the conference is a very important first point of contact. Smiling volunteers that help people get started at the conference is as important as the front desk clerk at a hotel. \n\n\n\nHelp with displaying event signage\, giving badges\, life saver cards\, signing attendees out at the end of the event and sending them to get their stipends\, as well as monitoring the virtual attendance; tracking and recording for all (4) sessions will be vital to ensure we capture all our numbers for funder reporting purposes after the event. \n\n\n\n* Workshop Monitors \n\n\n\nSometimes called “presiders\,” these volunteers stay in the workshop rooms to make sure everything is running smoothly. They attend to anything the presider may need during the session and act as an official from the conference. \n\n\n\n* Copywriter \n\n\n\nAfter the event we will need at least one volunteer to help us develop communications including: Content on website\, Resources Library on website (we are collecting virtual resources) and the creation of an online and print Newsletter with post conference highlights\, pictures\, stories and the such. \n\n\n\n* Wayfinding and support \n\n\n\nVolunteers to provide assistance to guests throughout the conference including connecting with the Mental Health Triage Licensed Professional who will be available for attendees at the event. \n\n\n\n* Audience Q&A \n\n\n\nDuring the conference we may need to facilitate Q&A with the audience which may involve roving microphones. The volunteer will aid with the distribution of microphones amongst the audience as needed. \n\n\n\n* Social Media \n\n\n\nVolunteer to run our social media accounts for the day featuring live stories\, interviews and photos to make our event engaging from start to finish. We already have a pre-conference event consent attendees completed as part of their registration process allowing us to use their audio\, pics\, etc. \n\n\n\n* Raffles & Fundraisers \n\n\n\nDedicated volunteers roam throughout the conference to engage with attendees and sell tickets for our social impact cause at Healing By Growing Farms. \n\n\n\nHow to Sign Up:1. Volunteers should register on the Yale Connect event page. \n\n\n\n2. Volunteers should also register at the conference page located here:https://forms.gle/jCui5va7KLwBFz526 URL:https://dwighthall.org/event/volunteer-at-the-first-northeast-disability-and-agriculture-conference-presented-by-healing-by-growing-farms-spring-2023-service-series/ LOCATION:CT CATEGORIES:Spring 2023 Service Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://dwighthall.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/healing-by-growing-logo.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230206T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230206T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T194946 CREATED:20230122T165307Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230122T165308Z UID:53466-1675710000-1675717200@dwighthall.org SUMMARY:Students for Sensible Drug Policy NightCap Event DESCRIPTION:Want to talk about partying and drink spiking?
