The panel\, which includes two sets of family members\, will also discuss how we talk about trauma and share stories generationally. Audience members will be invited to join in on the conversation at various points in the evening. \nThis event is part of the MHC’s new Minnesota Writers Series\, which amplifies recent publications from Minnesota authors\, and is being co-sponsored by Saint Paul Almanac. \nThis event is free but registration is required. \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED URL:https://www.mnhum.org/event/we-are-meant-to-rise/ LOCATION:Minnesota Humanities Event Center\, 987 Ivy Avenue East\, Saint Paul\, MN\, 55106\, United States CATEGORIES:Books, Poetry, and Literature,Free,Minnesota Writers Series,Public Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.mnhum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/event_we_are_meant_to_rise.png ORGANIZER;CN="Corey China":MAILTO:corey@mnhum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220623T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220623T200000 DTSTAMP:20260414T183051 CREATED:20220504T023044Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230606T171354Z UID:10000248-1656007200-1656014400@www.mnhum.org SUMMARY:St. Paul – The Impact of War\, Writing Workshops Facilitated by Warrior Writers DESCRIPTION:Join Warrior Writers for a series of workshops to address the myriad experiences of war for Veterans and non-Veterans through the medium of writing. In these workshops you’ll be putting pen to paper to record feelings\, memories\, traumas\, personal histories or whatever comes to mind in the moment. There is no such thing as correct or polished writing\, and no previous experience is necessary. We’ll help you keep the pen moving! \nAlong with writing\, the workshops will foster positive relationships between those impacted by war\, and develop a deeper understanding and reclaiming of our personal and generational histories. Although the workshops are not therapy\, many find this format to be cathartic and useful in the reintegration into society. Many also find the process insightful and validating as you can make sense out of your experience through writing it down. \nWe recommend participants attend all four sessions if possible. Refreshments will be provided for morning sessions; dinner will be provided for the evening session. \nWarrior Writers is a national non-profit whose mission is to create a culture that articulates veterans’ experiences\, build a collaborative community for artistic expression\, and bear witness to war and the full range of military experiences. \nSchedule\nSaturday\, June 4\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session One\nSaturday\, June 11\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session Two\nSaturday\, June 18\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session Three\nThursday\, June 23\, 2022 – 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. – Session Four \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED URL:https://www.mnhum.org/event/impact-of-war-writing-workshops/2022-06-23/ LOCATION:Minnesota Humanities Event Center\, 987 Ivy Avenue East\, Saint Paul\, MN\, 55106\, United States CATEGORIES:Books, Poetry, and Literature,Many Fronts,Refugees,Veterans ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.mnhum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/event_impact_war_warrior_writers.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Corey China":MAILTO:corey@mnhum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220714T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220714T140000 DTSTAMP:20260414T183051 CREATED:20220504T053622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230209T151626Z UID:10000256-1657796400-1657807200@www.mnhum.org SUMMARY:Learning in Community: St. Paul's Little Africa DESCRIPTION:Minnesota is home to over 150\,000 Africans\, including the largest Somali population outside of Africa.
