Workshops on Youth Leadership:
Spiritual Frameworks for Contemporary Contexts
Maliotis Cultural Center
Participants are invited into the spirit of CrossRoad learning that strives to hold together truth and compassion, gentleness and boldness, reality and hope, welcome and challenge.
1:00 pm to 2:30 pm
Global Conflict & National Polarization
Fr Luke Veronis
Orthodox Christians have a broad range of perspectives and strongly-held stances on major international and national conflicts. How can we navigate the dangers of divisions and a divisive spirit, and work toward helping ourselves and our youth make sense of their questions, act as peacemakers, and ground ourselves in a framework for responding?
3:00 pm to 4:30 pm
Gender & Identity
Dr Phillip Mamalakis
The question, “who am I?” has always been a part of adolescence and young adulthood; new to our age is the extent to which navigating gender is part of that search. How to help ourselves and our youth make sense of this complexity in today’s world?
