Confluências Amefricanas

The event is inspired by Black Consciousness Day, a national holiday in Brazil observed every November 20. Although rooted in the Brazilian context, our aim is to create a shared celebration of diasporic Blackness across the Americas. The name Confluências Amefricanas echoes Lélia Gonzalez’s vision of Amefricanidade, which emphasizes the cultural, political, and historical connections between Africa and the Americas.

The evening will include music, dance and poetry readings - all designed to create a space of joy, collectivity, remembrance, reflection, and action.

Open to all regardless of identity.

Presented by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the Carl A. Fields Center in collaboration with the Black Student Union, Generational African American Students Association, Princeton Caribbean Connection, the Forward Collective, and the Princeton Latin American Students Association.

Workshop with JoAnne Cook: Peace-Making + Conflict Transformation Skill Building for Student Org Leaders

The CAF x CAF Head Fellows & Restorative Justice Fellows Team presents:

Peace-Making + Conflict Transformation Skill Building for Student Org Leaders led by JoAnne Cook

JoAnne Cook is a trainer and leader within the Indigenous Peacemaking Initiative housed under the Native American Rights Fund (NARF). Peacemaking can be most simply described as a process where people can talk together to resolve conflict. It is a community-based process that addresses the concerns of all interested parties. While it has been adapted to other circumstances such as Restorative Justice and other frameworks through mediation, and in state courts, tribal courts, and the justice systems. In indigenous communities the process uses traditional values and sometimes ceremonial practices.

For example, a circle can involve supporters, elders, and interested family and community members. Within similar RJ circles, people are encouraged to speak from the heart, and together to identify and agree upon the steps necessary for healing the relationships harmed by the conflict. In this session, participates will learn more about peacemaking to help support and using values building as a way to address in community conflicts. Peacemaking is not an alternative solution but a traditional way peoples have engaged in conflict and transformation.

Open to all students leaders regardless of identity! Limited spots available, RSVP required HERE.

Intention of the Space:

  • This event is meant:

    • Help build a deeper and richer community among students organization leaders, staff, and faculty

    • help minimize exorbitant funding requests by offering other modes of collaboration and promote more effective use of funding

    • create more opportunity for students to meet all campus stakeholders, programmers, and funders to help with more collaboration among students, staff, and faculty for co-created programming

    • Additionally, because of the busy schedules of students, staff, and faculty, we wanted to have a set time for everyone to connect at one time, brainstorm, and co-plan for some of the next academic year

We ask that attendees be prepared by sending a member or member/s of your organization to the event. This will be an active planning event. This is meant to help create more collective, intentional, collaborative, and responsible programming that promotes community building, connection making, and highlights important issues while also decreasing over-saturation and duplication of programming across campus. Also, to help students connect with other staff and faculty leaders across campus and to learn more about all of the resources available.

Global Haiti: The International Gang Problem is an event centered on discussing the historic and current violence that has been perpetuated against Haiti for the past century. The event seeks to address the current violence and turmoil in Haiti by situating the most recent round of violence in the context of the complex history of Haiti's exploitation. We will start from the history of the Haitian Revolution, its forced reparations to France, Pan-Africanist movements in the United States alongside the struggle of the Haitians under various foreign interventions, and finally the geopolitical landscape of Haiti today to contextualize the current gang problem. In the end encouraging students, staff, and faculty to engage in meaningful dialogue about what Haiti’s story and current status represents. Open to all.
