APANO’s Many Rivers Project is a series of 12 Listening Circles taking place throughout Oregon this Fall engaging our diverse communities. Each Listening Circle is envisioned as a way to intentionally connect with under-represented communities within our own Pan-API community, to better inform our policy advocacy, community organizing, and to improve the accountability of APANO Board and Leadership.
Upcoming:
- Multiracial API – September 29th
- Burmese Refugee Youth – October 17th
- Bhutanese Refugee – October 17th
- Bisexual/Gay/Lesbian/Transgender/Queer API – October 24th
- Check back for information on our Eugene/Lane County API, API Parents, Unemployed API, and more.
Each Listening Circle is designed by people from the specific community, utilizing prompting questions and activities in order to encourage the sharing of personal and collective experiences based on the identity of the Listening Circle. APANO has trained over 40 facilitators and organizers, who will team up to lead these circles. Listening Circles will be between 5 and 15 participants who will gather for up to 3 hours, with support for childcare, transportation and interpretation.
