Lederach invites all of us to be artists for peace and social change, tapping into our dreams and imaginations. Your creative presentation can be a collage, poster, board game, song, poem, small video, cartoon, animation, theatrical play, etc. Whatever your creative method, prepare a creative expression that integrates what you have learned this quarter and share your wisdom to the following prompts:
Vincent de Paul, Sr. Helen Prejean, Louise de Marillac, Sister Rosalie Rendu, Frederic & Amelie Ozanam, Elizabeth Ann Seton
Who are you today? What is your approach to Social Change?
- In a simple way, how do you strive to be a Vincentian leader for social change in our world? Integrate a concrete story, quote, or example from one of the Vincentian leaders we studied that resonates with you.
- What framework(s)/model(s) of practical social change most resonate with your approach? Integrate direct citationsfrom the text that support your ideas. *Use a minimum of 3 different sources from class materials for this response.
- Central to each of the Vincentian leaders was a deeply rooted faith and conviction in their beliefs. Write a brief “This I believe” statement that names the core values that guide your life choices and actions today. For ideas, please see: http://thisibelieve.org/themes/
- What tools will you use to sustain your journey towards peace and social change? Which of the spiritual practices you experimented with this quarter impacted/grounded you the most? Which might you consider integrating into your daily life?
- What is an emerging calling/purpose/vocation in your life? What is your purpose statement?
