COMMUNITY BUILDING

Where Everyone Has a Seat at the Table

“Effective community building requires that we suspend judgement and be open minded long enough to “see” a new set of possibilities for ourselves and for others. We are not stereotypes – we are people.”
– Shazel Muhammad

Workshops

Our community building workshops give parents, students, educators, administrators, community advocates, business people, youth peer leaders, faith-based organizations, first responders, law enforcement, and government agencies a seat at the same table. Our common ground is the highest human denominator – dignity.

Eunoia’s community building workshops facilitate meaningful discussions and support strong partnerships that link individuals, families, communities, organizations, and agencies – community growth based on the inclusion of every individual voice.Fundamentally, we aim to raise awareness, enable informed conversations that strengthen connections, and increase resiliency through shared values and a community-based approach that benefits all families.

Our common ground is the highest human denominator – dignity.

Training

Our eye-opening discourses share facts, empirical data, dispel myths, and are a part of a comprehensive approach to support community engagement. Our goal is to spark ongoing collaboration that continues beyond the training event.

This training will help participants:

  • Have culturally competent conversations about bias, extremism, radicalization to violence, race and culture.
  • Learn ways to promote educational diplomacy opportunities for our youth through cultural exchange.
  • Identify effective approaches and resources available to mobilize communities.
  • Raise awareness of possible threats including an in-depth look at the role of social media.
  • Learn ways to work together to build resilient communities and support our youth.
  • Identify possible warning signs of escalation to violence using non-socio-cultural indicators.

About Our Name

Eunoia (you-noy-ah) is a small but powerful word. It is the shortest word in the English language containing all 5 vowels. Its etymology comes from the Greek word εὔνοιᾰ, meaning “well mind” or “beautiful thinking.”In rhetoric, Eunoia refers to the goodwill a speaker cultivates between themselves and their audience. In Nicomachean Ethics Book VIII, Aristotle uses Eunoia to describe the kindness and benevolence that form the ethical foundation of human life.
