Cross-Cultural Sharing Circles

The Faribault Diversity Coalition would like to invite you to a conversation …

Here in Faribault we have a wonderful diversity of peoples, representing many countries and cultures. We often look at one another from a distance, curious but not connecting. We sometimes simply remain strangers.

Community happens when we begin to listen to another’s stories, share our own, and start to see our human connectedness. For the newcomer, it means feeling welcomed. For those with deeper roots, it means the newcomer is now a neighbor.

Cross-Cultural Sharing Circles Fridays (Apr 11, 18, 25, May 2)
9:00-10:30 am Senior Center (19 W. Division)
6:00-7:30 pm Community Center (15 E. Division)

Small Groups representing the community’s diversity gather weekly. We talk about our family memories and traditions, about our stories and experiences, about what we value, hope for, and wonder. While a facilitator and interpreters help the conversation begin, the discovery of our common ground takes place as we respectfully listen and share our lives.

Please consider joining us…all are welcome to join the circles as you can.

For more information, please contact the Welcome Center, 333-5036.
