Posted: Wednesday, May 4, 2022Call for Proposals - AFP: Healing through Stories - Deadline Extended
Buffalo State College’s Anne Frank Project will host its 14th annual social justice festival, AFP 2022: Healing through Stories, in person October 12–14. We seek proposals from all disciplines, cultures, and communities reflecting on stories that have healed or will or can heal the personal, social, national, and global wounds caused by the pandemic. The sharing of unique skill sets, knowledge, and approaches to healing is an act of both social and personal justice. It was Anne Frank's wish to "repair the world." This year's festival is an opportunity for all of us to actively respond to that challenge. We need you and your healing stories now more than ever.
Understanding the busyness surrounding your lives, we are extending the proposal due date to Friday, May 20. Because we are asking session proposals to be crafted as one-third theory and two-thirds practice, several faculty and staff members have asked us to help with the "practice" part of their sessions. Our desire is to help activate your proposals from thinking to doing. We are here for you, and we need you and your healing stories now more than ever.
To learn more about the Anne Frank Project, please?visit the AFP website.
Please contact Jonise Hall, festival coordinator, with any questions or for help with your proposal.
