Service-Learning World Forum Lunch and Wisdom Teachings: Lessons Learned from the Gathering of Elders
12:15 p.m.-2:30 p.m.

Community elders have shown extraordinary wisdom and originality as teachers and counselors of change. Their life lessons are contained in philosophies, oral histories, and ceremonies, handed from one generation to the next. Their symbolic connection to the past helps us remember who we are, why we serve, and what we must do to change the world. In this special gathering, elders from five different cultural backgrounds speak from their traditions and life experiences about youth, change, service, and leadership.
Join us at the close of the Service-Learning World Forum and attend the Gathering of Elders. Speakers will include:
• Wokie Weah, host
• Naomi Tutu, moderator
• Carol Bellamy, elder
• Mary Syfax Noble, elder
• Milton Cambre, elder
• Dr. Reuven Gal, elder
