Topic: We’re experiencing a charged election season in the midst of profound public health, social and racial equity crises. With that in mind, share your thoughts on one of these specific prompts:
- Self-Care: What methods of self-care help you navigate these traumatic times?
- Community Building: What does healing and/or rebuilding look like as a community?
- Reflection: How has social media helped you endure and/or heal?
- Looking Forward: Describe two or three ways your peers can be involved to create a more just and equal future.
Audio and video can be anything (two minutes or less) that tells a story — a news story with interviews, spoken word, an essay reading, stop-motion video, short film, audio/video letter to someone or your future self. Visual pieces share your response to a prompt through photo essays, illustrations, paintings, etc. Examples of written pieces include an essay, poem, letter to someone or your future self.
