SUMMARY:Dover - Active Bystander Training
DESCRIPTION:Active Bystander Training\nIn a time when people are quicker to express anger and more likely to be angry at people “not like them”\, many of us are seeking tools to respond effectively to such biased anger. \nThis training will give you tools and insights to use in such situations and a chance to think about how you might use them. In this highly interactive session we present information\, share experiences\, and strategize bystander responses to a variety of situations. Participants will learn about roles we all play\, what discourages us from acting when we see harm doing\, how to move through this resistance\, tools to use when we are ready\, and basic principles to guide our actions. Please join us! \nSunday\, February 11\, 1 – 3pm\nDover\, NH \nTo register or for more information contact:\nAron DiBacco at 603-668-8250 or\nadibacco@granitestateorganizing.org

SUMMARY:Manchester - Conversation Café: A Spanish & English Intercambio
DESCRIPTION:This Conversation Café will be in both Spanish and English! \nThis will be a great opportunity for community members who speak either Spanish or English fluently and want to practice the other language. Or maybe you’re fluent in both and want to connect with other bilingual neighbors! \nThe idea for this event came about when two people (one native English speaker wanting to practice her Spanish\, and one native Spanish speaker wanting to practice his English) met at one of Welcoming Manchester’s regular Conversation Cafes and realized a great opportunity. Since then\, they have been meeting as friends for regular Spanish-English language exchange\, or intercambio\, and now they want to bring this exchange to the wider Spanish & English speaking community. \nWe hope you will join us for this fun\, new event! \n________________________________________________________________ \n¡Este será un Café de Conversación en español e inglés! \nEsta será una gran oportunidad para los miembros de la comunidad que hablan español o inglés con fluidez y desean practicar el otro idioma. ¡O tal vez dominas ambos y quieres conectarte con otros vecinos bilingües! \nLa idea de este evento surgió cuando dos personas (un hablante nativo de español que quería practicar su inglés y un hablante nativo de inglés que quería practicar su español) se encontraron en uno de los cafés de conversación habituales de Welcoming Manchester y se dieron cuenta de una gran oportunidad. Desde entonces\, se han estado reuniendo como amigos para el intercambio regular de idioma español-inglés\, y ahora quieren llevar este intercambio al resto de la comunidad de habla hispana e inglesa de Manchester. \n¡Esperamos que te unas a nosotros en este divertido y nuevo evento! \nCuándo: jueves\, 15 de febrero\, 6 p.m.-8 p.m. \nDónde: First Congregational Church\n508 Union St.\, Manchester\, NH\nEstacionamiento en la esquina de Union y Amherst St. (Camine a través de Amherst St. y entre a la iglesia por la puerta de atrás)

SUMMARY:Madbury - All Eyes Are Upon Us: Racial Struggles in the Northeast\, from Jackie Robinson to Deval Patrick
DESCRIPTION:All Eyes Are Upon Us: Racial Struggles in the Northeast\, from Jackie Robinson to Deval Patrick \nFrom Brooklyn to Boston\, from World War II to the present\, Jason Sokol traces the modern history of race and politics in the Northeast. Why did white fans come out to support Jackie Robinson as he broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947 even as Brooklyn’s blacks were shunted into segregated neighborhoods? 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? THIS EVENT IS PART OF THE OYSTER RIVER COMMUNITY READ. THEY WILL BE READING\, WAKING UP WHITE. THERE WILL BE VARIOUS EVENTS FROM MID-JANUARY THROUGH MID-APRIL.

SUMMARY:Plaistow - Songs of Emigration: Storytelling Through Traditional Irish Music
DESCRIPTION:Songs of Emigration: Storytelling Through Traditional Irish Music \nThrough traditional music Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki relays some of the adventures\, misadventures\, and emotions experienced by Irish emigrants. The focus is on songs about leaving Ireland\, sometimes focusing on the reasons for leaving (a man who is driven from his land by English persecution); sometimes revealing what happened upon arrival (an immigrant drafted into the Union army during the Civil War); and sometimes exploring the universal feeling of homesickness of a stranger in a strange land (a factory worker in London missing his home in County Clare). The presenter discusses the historical context of these songs\, interspersing their stories with tunes from Ireland that made their way into New England’s musical repertoire\, played on his fiddle or guitar. PRIOR TO THE PROGRAM\, THE TRIANGLE GUILD WILL BE HOSTING A BRUNCH AT 11:00AM THAT WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
