What is the HOPE Series?
Created in 2020 at the start of the pandemic, this free, online series supports the resilience of our global community through social emotional arts. In accordance with our mission, with this series we aim to enhance the innate social emotional benefits of the arts with supportive practices, such as non-judgmental language and reflection, for self-discovery, connection, and empowerment. Offered monthly, workshops are designed for a broad audience, geared towards both personal and professional benefit, and include a variety of expressive arts and experiential practices.
Proposal Requirements
A strong HOPE Series session proposal will include at least one art form, experiential elements, and time for reflection. A Q&A may also be included if desired. Sessions are held via Zoom, are 60-90 minutes in length, and should be designed for a wide variety of professional and community member attendees. Instructors should have at least two years of experience in teaching or facilitating the expressive arts form proposed. You may submit more than one proposal, and submissions will be accepted until the 2023 calendar is finalized.
