USING PLÁTICA AND STORY FOR COMMUNITY BUILDING

with Leticia Romero Grimaldo

Leticia will discuss how Communities must return to roots of engaging a diverse and intergenerational group of people who learn together. This is a place of consciousness for communities, a place where the local is honored, where outsiders are welcomed, and where people work together to harness local wisdom to create healthy places to live and raise a family.
