HAL Summer Session 2: Storytelling Today

We're very excited for our second HAL Summer Storytelling Session Thursday July 9th at 1pm EST/10am PST!

These sessions will be an opportunity to hear from our partners in this moment of pandemic & anti-racist, Black Lives Matter protests. What we share and learn will help us collectively reimagine our plans for the fall and shape the building blocks for the future of HAL, and each session will grow out of the previous one.

We're delighted that this session will feature community partners Camille Mays of Peace Garden Project MKE in Milwaukee and Tobias Fox of Newark Science & Sustainability in Newark telling stories from their ongoing local efforts. The event will be participatory and we encourage you to have a piece of paper and marker/pen.
