Free Workshop but Pre-Registration is Required:
Pinched
The FEC Planning Committee is excited to offer a Poverty Simulation Workshop this year at the conference. Entitled Pinched, the workshop
is a guided experience that exposes participants to some of the challenges faced by those living in poverty. During the simulation, participants will play the role of an individual whose family lives in poverty. “Families” must work together to take care of life’s daily responsibilities, provide basic necessities like food, shelter and care. The simulation is followed by a guided discussion where participants have a chance to reflect on their experience. To read more about it, go to this informational flyer. The workshop is free of charge but does require pre-registration. (offered as a selection on the FEC registration form).
Workshop date and times are Wednesday, September 27, 1:30 - 3:30 pm or 4:00 - 6:00 pm.
Thanks to our FEC Sponsors!
