Discussion “Be the Change”

Be the Change

The following topic(s) will demonstrate what the discussion is about, but feel free to branch off or expand on the topics. This week, we will not be writing in our Reflection Journals, so make this discussion count.

Mahatma Gandhi famously said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Reflect back over your experiences throughout the past eight weeks. In light of what have you learned, what new ideas did you discover about the idea of community? What change do you want to see in the world, and what assets and interest do you have to make change happen in your community?
