FAMILY VILLAGE
Presented by a Whitefield Public Library community partner, the Family Village series is a community-building initiative designed to empower families and strengthen connections. Through four engaging sessions, we guide families as they explore their values, share their experiences, and foster a supportive network. Here’s a brief look at each session:
Session One: Fostering Community
We begin by building trust and connection among participants. In this session, we introduce the foundational ideals of a “family village,” where child-rearing adults offer mutual support and collaborate for positive change. We guide participants to create group norms and share personal stories, setting a tone of respect and support for the journey ahead. This session lays the groundwork for a community where each voice is heard, and each experience is valued.
Session Two: Hopes and Dreams
Next, we invite participants to dive into their aspirations for their children, families, and community. Through reflective activities, we explore both supports and barriers that impact these hopes and dreams. This session emphasizes a key question: “What do we want for our children, and how can we work together to make it possible?” By addressing obstacles and envisioning solutions, participants begin to see the potential for meaningful change within their reach.
Session Three: Building on Our Strengths
From hopes and dreams, we shift to identifying personal values and strengths. By acknowledging individual and collective strengths, participants understand how these qualities contribute not just to their own children’s success, but also to the broader community’s well-being. The activities foster a sense of agency, reinforcing that each participant has something valuable to offer in building a stronger community.
Session Four: Taking Action
Finally, we transition from reflection to action. Participants brainstorm and plan concrete steps toward creating a more supportive community. Drawing on insights from previous sessions, we guide participants to develop action plans rooted in their values, hopes, dreams, and strengths. This session emphasizes sustainable, community-driven initiatives that leverage the collective strength of the family village.
