This workshop is presented in partnership with the Lilly Foundation and the NEA Big Read Lakeshore program, an annual month-long community-wide reading program focused on the reading of a common book.
The purpose of this collaborative workshop is to use Hope’s NEA Big Read Lakeshore program as a springboard to discuss faculty members’ participation in literature-based programs, including:
- Articulating a faith-based approach to studying and discussing literature
- Establishing alignment between institutional missions and program goals
- Sharing best practices around program implementation and partnerships (churches, librarians, educational institutions, non-profits)
- Conducting research and scholarship around program involvements
Participants will be encouraged to share perspectives and ideas from their home institutions and then to disseminate what they learn once they return. The goal of the workshop is to engage, empower,and equip faculty members in this work.
This LFP Network Exchange opportunity will provide participants with all meals, hotel accommodations, ground transportation, and up to $600 in airfare reimbursement to Grand Rapids International Airport. It is open to any faculty from the Lilly Network who lead or are involved withliterature-based campus and/or community programs as well as those who are considering starting orgetting involved in new or existing programs.
