  • Reimagining Schools, Neighborhoods & Faith Communities to Include All Children and Youth

    Tubman African American Museum 310 Cherry Street, Macon, Georgia

    This free event brings together some powerful organizations all working toward the same goal — making sure every child and young person feels like they truly belong. The groups behind it include the Center on Human Development and Disability at the University of Georgia (CHDD UGA), the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD), Out of Hand Theatre, Wesleyan College, Lipson Advocacy, the Georgia Advocacy Office, and the Tubman Museum.

    Guests can look forward to a powerful one-person theatrical performance, light snacks and drinks, and open conversation about what inclusion really looks like — and how we can all help make it happen. On-site childcare and family support will be available, so families with young children are especially encouraged to come.
