WorldFest May 2021

Submitted by Sophie Ichizawa on 03/24/2021 - 2:08pm.

 

Join us for Social Capital Inc.'s May 2021 WorldFest! This year, WorldFest will be a month-long event where we will focus on a different region of the world each week! We will feature Europe, Latin America, Asia including the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent, and the Carribean. 

Throughout the month we will host various workshops and activities to celebrate the different cultures within our community and raise awareness of the injustices many immigrants and minority groups face today. Although much of the festival will be virtual, we also hope to add an in-person element by hosting small, outdoor performances. These activities will be geared for both adults and kids in the Woburn area!   

We are looking for volunteers to assist in planning and executing the events for WorldFest. If you would be interested in being on a volunteer planning committee for this event, please contact Sophie Ichizawa at sichizawa@socialcapitalinc.org or Jenna Francis at jfrancis@socialcapitalinc.org

The Woburn Parent Network is hosting it's next Parent Support Forum on Wednesday, March 24th, at 6PM.

Social Capital Inc.'s, Jenna Francis, will share some helpful yoga and mediation techniques to destress and relax! This will be followed by an open discussion, where parents can discuss any challenges they are facing, as well as share resources and tools with one another.

We plan to have facilitators and outreach materials translated in Spanish, Haitian Creole and Portuguese.

The Woburn Parent Network (WPN) is a collaboration between SCI Woburn, Woburn Public Schools and The James L. McKeown Boys & Girls Club. Created by Social Capital Inc., the WPN’s mission is to support local parents by fostering spaces for connections and community building, while also offering relevant programming and resources.
