SUMMARY:Exploitation and Empathy: Navigating the Dynamics between Donors\, Staff\, and Program Participants
DESCRIPTION:Since the term “poverty porn” first appeared in 1981\, much has been said about the exploitation of human suffering to inspire charitable giving. Yet four decades later\, many organizations still struggle to communicate their impact in a way that authentically represents the issue and preserves the dignity of those affected by it. How do we portray our program participants as their own agents of change\, while admitting that they also need our help? How do we emotionally connect funders to our clients\, without simplifying their challenges or minimizing cultural differences? \nIn a refreshing take on this provocative issue\, Caliopy Glaros of Philanthropy without Borders invites attendees to move beyond lexicon and imagery\, to embrace methods that both challenge assumptions and inspire empathy. Drawing from her experience in international donor travel as well as research from social psychology\, she provides an innovative approach to building capacity for empathy while motivating others to action. \nAttendees will leave this session with a new means of evaluating interactions between donors\, staff\, and program participants\, as well as tools they can begin implementing right away.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister below to reserve your seat at this fantastic event!

SUMMARY:2019 Walk with Refugees & Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:The third annual Walk with Refugees & Immigrants is presented by PP&R’s Parks for New Portlanders program in conjunction with the Portland Bureau of Transportation’s Sunday Parkways\, local nonprofits and refugee and immigrant organizations\, and local elected leaders. The event celebrates the unique experiences of Portlanders of all ages and backgrounds. An estimated 5\,000 people took part in the Walk in 2018. \n“This event is a highlight of our Parks for New Portlanders program\,” says Portland Parks Commissioner Nick Fish. “We’re proud to welcome people of all backgrounds to Portland.” \nAll are welcome to take part\, to support and celebrate with everyone who calls the Rose City home. Afterwards enjoy delicious food\, multicultural music\, and family fun at Knott Park. \nFor more information about the Walk in English and several other languages\, please visit the event web page. \n“Portland Parks & Recreation welcomes everyone to our park places and spaces\,” says  Director Adena Long. “It doesn’t matter if you’ve been in the City for a week – or your entire life. We are proud to celebrate Portland’s newcomers and help show them they are welcomed\, appreciated\, and to introduce everyone to the wonders of Portland Parks & Recreation.” \n“Imagine never having had a country or community of your own – until arriving in Portland”\, says SB Langh\, a refugee from Southeast Asia. “I want to express my sincerest appreciation to Oregonians in general and to Portlanders in particular for their acceptance and support in all areas of our lives. The Walk with Refugees & Immigrants event shows us the love and care our neighbors have for the city’s newcomers.” \n\nAbout the Parks for New Portlanders program \nThe Parks for New Portlanders (PNP) program is part of Portland Parks & Recreation. The goal is to provide opportunities for recent immigrants and refugees to connect with the broader Portland community.

Join us at the Newmark Theatre as we highlight “Future Leaders\, Global Voices\,” spotlighting powerful youth-lead movements and the initiatives working to empower tomorrow’s global leaders. \nIndividual speaker tickets ($20–$175) are on sale now! \nSpeaker Line-Up: \n\nJulian Castro – Sunday\, March 3\, 2019\nJaha Dukureh – Tuesday\, May 14\, 2019\nFarah Pandith – Wednesday\, May 29\, 2019\nErica Fernandez – Sunday\, June 23\, 2019\n\nErica Fernandez—Saving the Environment: My Immigrant and Activist Journey \nEnvironmental activist Erica Fernandez immigrated with her family from Michoacán\, Mexico to California when she was 10 years old.

SUMMARY:Ideas Matter: History & the Shaping of U.S. Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:Since its inception\, the United States has been a self-consciously ideological project. The nation was conceived as a revolutionary republic in a world of monarchies\, and its leadership has continuously struggled to uphold its ideals while maintaining safety in a complex and capricious world. \nThis panel brings together three top Oregon scholars to tackle influential ideologies in war and peace\, isolationism and internationalism\, immigration and border control\, nationalism\, free trade\, and protectionism. These presentations culminate in a multiday conference at Oregon State University on Ideologies and U.S. Foreign Policy\, bringing the scholars’ cutting-edge insights to the public and exploring some of the most important ideas that have shaped the past\, present\, and future of U.S. foreign relations. \nRead more here.
