Description
In the tumultuous times that we currently live in, it can be hard for us to feel that we have the ability or the opportunity to make the world any better. Our park's mission, is to preserve the work of suffragists as an example of what can be achieved by real (imperfect) people, when they believe in something. This is an opportunity for our visitors to feel empowered in their own lives.
In partnership with the Seven Valleys Writing Project, we are please to offer an opportunity for virtual visitors to explore how empowering writing can be. Throughout the 4-hour session, participants will have an opportunity to try writing personal narrative, poetry, and persuasive writing as a means to explore identity, experience catharsis, and ponder ways to support personal values into something impactful.
This event is co-hosted by the Friends of the Women’s Rights National Historical Park, who serve as ambassadors and advocates for the preservation and interpretation of women’s history and its enduring links to liberty, justice, and equality for all. Their aim is to support the daily operations of the Park through fundraising and preservation efforts, and by forging local and national partnerships, building membership, and creating and sustaining educational programming and dialogues to inspire the next generation of Park visitors.
