Description

At this first gathering of participants in the Center for Democracy and Civic Life's Reflective Journaling project, we'll talk about people's responses to the following journal prompt: 

“Sometimes it’s hard to make space for conversations about the most important things--our fears, our vulnerabilities, our deep hopes--with people we’re around every day. What do you wish you had more opportunities to share and talk about with people at UMBC?”

About the Reflective Journaling project: We're creating opportunities for individual reflection on personal experiences with important civic implications. UMBC student, faculty, staff, and alumni journal bearers respond to prompts from the Center by creating entries in their journals, and sometimes submitting photos of their entries to be shared publicly. This sharing can take the form of social media posts like this, art projects, or conversations at journal bearer gatherings.

If you’d like to be involved with the journaling project, send us an email: civiclife@umbc.edu.
