SUMMARY:Emerging Leaders 2020 - Open Applications! (Informational Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Diversity & the Environment is honored and pleased to announce that through generous funding from Metro Nature and Neighborhood and The Collins Foundation we are offering another Environment 2042 Leadership Program for Emerging Leaders cohort in 2020. \nOur E42 Emerging Leaders Program is focused on supporting emerging leaders age 18-25 in their personal growth and work to deepen understanding of the implications of our changing demographics\, understanding systems as ways of supporting or undermining performance\, developing skills in working across differences and with communities of color and developing action plans. \nEach cohort includes representation across various dimensions of diversity with a strong emphasis on racial and ethnic diversity. Selecting a balanced cohort is a critical and a unique element of this leadership program. Applying for this cohort means you will be placed into a selection pool from which we will select that balanced cohort. We will let you know as soon as we make the final selections in December. Because we are carefully balancing our cohort\, this invitation is specific to any young person you recommend. \nFollowing is more information about the E42 Emerging Leaders Program and the Center for Diversity & the Environment.

SUMMARY:NEH and Department of Education award $650\,000 to iCivics
DESCRIPTION:The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)\, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education (ED)\, has awarded a $650\,000 cooperative agreement to the civics education group iCivics to lead a coalition of experts in assessing the state of\, and best practices in\, the teaching of American history\, civics\, and government in K-12 education. \nEducating for American Democracy: A Roadmap for Excellence in History and Civics Education for All Learners will bring together more than 100 leading academics and practitioners in education\, civics\, history\, and political science for convenings at Louisiana State University and Arizona State University to evaluate the current state of history and civics curricula across the country. Informed by these discussions\, the group will issue a “roadmap for excellence” that would outline for teachers\, schools\, and district and state policy-makers high-priority civic content areas\, and recommend instructional strategies and best practices for integrating the teaching of civics and history at every grade level. \nThis roadmap and accompanying report on the convenings’ findings will be released prior to a national forum in September 2020 in Washington\, D.C.\, co-hosted by the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History and the National Archives and Records Administration Foundation. \n“As the United States looks toward our 250th anniversary as a nation in 2026\, it is critical that our K-12 educational system teaches the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and the democratic principles on which the country was founded\,” said NEH Chairman Jon Parrish Peede. “The National Endowment for the Humanities is pleased to be working with the Educating for American Democracy team to identify ways to improve the teaching and learning of American history and government so that all students gain an appreciation of the workings of the world’s oldest constitutional democracy.” \nThe Educating for American Democracy project is a partnership between the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University\, the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership at Arizona State University\, Tufts University Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement and Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life\, and iCivics\, the country’s largest civic education provider. \nThe Educating for American Democracy project responds to an NEH-Education Department call for proposals for a fifteen-month project that would highlight innovative approaches\, learning strategies\, and professional development practices in K-12 civics education\, with an emphasis on activities and programs that benefit low-income and underserved populations. \n“Educating for American Democracy is an effort to provide guidance for integrating history and civics so that today’s learners form a strong connection to our constitutional democracy—and take ownership of it\,” said Louise Dubé\, Executive Director of iCivics. “We are very thankful that this cooperative agreement with NEH/ED will give our team of experts\, academics\, and practitioners the opportunity to design a trans-partisan roadmap for excellence in history and civics education.” \nThe iCivics Educating for American Democracy cooperative agreement is funded through a partnership between NEH’s Division of Education Programs and the U.S. Department of Education’s American History and Civics Education-National Activities program and is part of NEH’s newly announced “More Perfect Union” initiative focused on the upcoming 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. \n\n\n\n\n\nNational Endowment for the Humanities: Created in 1965 as an independent federal agency\, the National Endowment for the Humanities supports research and learning in history\, literature\, philosophy\, and other areas of the humanities by funding selected\, peer-reviewed proposals from around the nation. Additional information about the National Endowment for the Humanities and its grant programs is available at: www.neh.gov.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nU.S. Department of Education (ED): ED’s mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. Find more at www.ed.gov \n \n\n\n\nEducating for American Democracy Project Team:  \nThe School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership at Arizona State University blends a liberal arts education with civic education to prepare 21st century leaders for American and international affairs\, balancing study of classic ideas with outside-the-classroom learning experiences.  The School also provides civic education programs such as a podcast (Keeping It Civil)\, the Arizona Constitution Project\, and the Civic Discourse Project – a national-caliber speakers program partnering with Arizona PBS to provide a space for civil discourse on pressing issues.  https://scetl.asu.edu/ \nThe Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University seeks to strengthen teaching and research about pressing ethical issues; to foster sound norms of ethical reasoning and civic discussion; and to share the work of our community in the public interest. The Center stands at the core of a well-established movement giving ethics a prominent place in the curriculum and on research agendas at Harvard and throughout the world. The Center’s Democratic Knowledge Project is a K-16 civic education provider that seeks to identify and disseminate the bodies of knowledge\, capacities\, and skills that democratic citizens need in order to build and sustain healthy\, thriving democracies. https://ethics.harvard.edu/ \nTufts University’s Tisch College of Civic Life and Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement: The only university-wide college of its kind\, the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University studies and promotes the civic and political engagement of young people at Tufts University\, in our communities\, and in our democracy. Peter Levine serves as Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. Tisch College’s Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE)\, directed by Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg\, is a premier research center on young people’s civic education and engagement in the United States\, especially those who are marginalized or disadvantaged in political life. CIRCLE’s scholarly research informs policy and practice for healthier youth development and a better democracy. https://tischcollege.tufts.edu/ \niCivics: Former associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Sandra Day O’Connor founded iCivics in 2009 to transform the field through innovative\, free educational video games and lessons that teach students to be knowledgeable\, curious\, and engaged in civic life. Today\, iCivics is the nation’s largest provider of civic education curriculum\, with our resources used by over 108\,000 educators and more than 6.7 million students each year nationwide.

SUMMARY:Ghost Net Landscape by Emily Miller
DESCRIPTION:“Ghost Net Landscape” by Emily Miller opens October 7th at the Kathrin Cawein Gallery.  The collaborative exhibit will feature Emily Miller’s finished sculptures created from plastic marine debris (“ghost net”) as well as over 1\,000 pounds of unprocessed fishing rope and net.  \nFor four weeks\, Emily will be working in the gallery alongside visitors\, processing the materials and creating finished sculptures. Artists and visitors of any artistic ability are encouraged to visit the space\, experiment with the material\, and create their own pieces.

The gallery is open Monday-Friday\, from 1-5 PM\, through October 31st.

SUMMARY:Conscious Capitalism: Live After 5
DESCRIPTION:Becoming An Agent For Change: Tackling Wicked Problems\nWicked Problems aren’t here just for Halloween. They are the kinds of problems we see everywhere today and they are causing conflict and feelings of chaos. Wicked problems are part of a complex system and can’t be “solved”\, only continually navigated – a mindset shift for most of us. \nOne “solution” creates new problems because of the interconnectedness of the complex system.  Consider global warming or healthcare. Facing these problems requires tough choices\, mutual understanding\, genuine interactions across multiple perspectives\, and innovative approaches that also address the tensions between the different value systems. \nJoin us for this discussion on wicked problems and learn how you can facilitate positive solutions within your organization and community and become an Agent for Change. \nSnacks and beverages will be provided\, including beer and wine. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Speaker\nMonica Bourgeau is the author of the new book The Change Code: A Practical Guide to Making a Difference in a Polarized World that will be available on Amazon in November. \nShe’s also an entrepreneur\, coach\, speaker\, and healthcare executive who leads and researches personal and organizational change. She believes we each have a duty to help leave the world a little better than we found it. Monica lives with her husband\, daughters\, and their two rescue dogs in beautiful Portland\, Oregon. Learn more about her and her new book at www.thechangecode.net. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate: 10/23/2019\nTime: 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm\nLocation:   Ruby Receptionists\, 805 SW Broadway\, 9th Floor\, Portland\, OR 97205 \nParking & Transportation\nStreet parking is available or catch the MAX to the Pioneer Square stop.

SUMMARY:Ghost Net Landscape by Emily Miller
DESCRIPTION:“Ghost Net Landscape” by Emily Miller opens October 7th at the Kathrin Cawein Gallery.  The collaborative exhibit will feature Emily Miller’s finished sculptures created from plastic marine debris (“ghost net”) as well as over 1\,000 pounds of unprocessed fishing rope and net.  \nFor four weeks\, Emily will be working in the gallery alongside visitors\, processing the materials and creating finished sculptures. Artists and visitors of any artistic ability are encouraged to visit the space\, experiment with the material\, and create their own pieces. At the end of the exhibit\, visitors are encouraged to take materials home — continuing the idea of sustainable use of reclaimed materials. \nThe sculptures\, or baskets\, begin as fishing rope washed ashore on the beaches of Maine\, Oregon\, and Kauai. Cleaned\, unraveled\, and restitched\, the colorful rope becomes a collection of unique baskets accented with local stones and other treasures.  \nThe Kathrin Cawein Gallery is located in Scott Hall at Pacific University\, 2043 College Way\, Forest Grove\, Oregon. The gallery is open Monday-Friday\, from 1-5 PM\, through October 31st. An opening reception will be held Monday\, October 7th from 4-6 PM; the closing reception will be held Tuesday\, October 29th from 4-6 PM. \nIn partnership with Washington County Open Studios\, the gallery is also open Saturday\, October 19th and Sunday\, October 20th from 11-5 PM.  \nJoin Artist Emily Miller to make a visible difference in marine conservation\, transforming dangerous marine waste into objects of value.   \nThe Ghost Net Landscape exhibit will be a collaborative gallery space in partnership with CALC\, Eden Acres\, Pacific University\, SOLVE Oregon\, Oregon State Parks\, Surfrider Kauai\, Port of Grays Harbor\, and Ocean Gold Seafood. The exhibit is funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council.
