North Woodstock - Uprooted: Heartache and Hope in New Hampshire
2018-10-11 15:00 | Woodstock Town Office Building, 165 Lost River Rd, North Woodstock, NH, 03262, United States
Uprooted is a 30-minute documentary based on interviews collected during New Hampshire Humanities’ Fences & Neighbors initiative on immigration. It tells the story of five refugees who escaped from war-torn countries to resettle in New Hampshire. The film explores what it means to be a refugee and how it feels to make a new life in a strange place, often without English language skills, family, a job, or community contacts. The film leaves us pondering questions of belonging and citizenship. What does it mean to be an American? Once a refugee, are you destined always to be a refugee? What are our responsibilities toward one another? A New Hampshire Humanities presenter introduces the film and leads a post-film discussion. See bios and contact information in Presenter Directory for Whitney Howarth, John Krueckeberg and Sara Withers.

How was African-American politician Ed Brooke of Massachusetts, who won a Senate seat in 1966, undone by the resistance to desegregation busing in Boston? Is the Northeast’s history a microcosm of America as a whole: outwardly democratic, but inwardly conflicted over race?

Nashua - Parent Workshop Series: Staying Connected With Your Teen
2018-11-07 13:00 - 15:00 | Arlington Street Community Center, 36 Arlington St, Nashua, NH, United States
Why is staying connected important?
Adolescence is a time of great growth – and big changes for your teen.
During this busy and exciting period, it is more important than ever to work hard to stay connected. Research shows that strong family relationships play a critical role in kids’ success as they transition into adulthood. Parents who have healthy bonds with their children have the greatest influence on the choices and decisions their teens make. This can be a tricky time as you are delicately balancing giving independence, providing direction and support and also setting limits.
Staying Connected with Your Teen provides dedicated time in a comfortable setting for parents and caregivers of preteens and teens to explore their relationship with their child, learn about some of the factors that impact that relationship, and develop concrete skills to build and/or maintain positive bonds.
During the five two-hour sessions, you will find support and community and learn about the changes happening in your child’s body and brain so that you can better understand why they do what they do.
What you’ll learn:
· Skills for increasing communication and decreasing conflict
· Ways to bond with your teen
· Strategies for preventing high-risk behaviors
· How to involve your teen at home in problem-solving, decision making, and responsibility
Participants benefit from hearing other parents’ experiences, gaining perspective about their child, and problem-solving ideas for their own home.
“It opened me up to new ideas on how to connect with my child and how to plan for handling family roles/policies” – past participant
“Hearing about other parents’ challenges, helps me know that my son’s behavior is normal”
– past participant

Becoming American: A Documentary Film and Discussion Series on Our Immigration Experience is a six-session series of public programs featuring documentary film screenings and discussions of immigration issues against the backdrop of immigration history, led by Dr. Lucy Salyer, UNH Associate Professor of History. Presented by Strawbery Banke Museum and hosted by 3S Artspace.

Program 6: Immigration and Popular Culture looks at the ways the media and popular culture have historically taught newcomers how to “be American,” and how the rich contributions of different immigrant groups have transformed American culture and art. The discussion explores such themes as:
· Generational changes in culture and identity
· How different ethnicities are represented, and how that has changed over time
· Cultural debates over identity
· Definition from inside vs. definition from outside
· Use of familiar icons in new cultural settings
· Cross-cultural meeting vs. cultural appropriation
