Today, we are celebrating the wealth of wisdom and experiences seniors bring to family and community life. They pass down key skills and traditions, shaping our collective heritage. Preserving their wisdom is essential and can be done via the following: - family workshops, - storytelling evenings, and - collaborative projects.

In this article, we took a deep dive into the importance of passing down generational wisdom and also offered different fun ways to preserve it, check it out. https://lnkd.in/gQQmRUJc  

CULTURE DESIGN: These six core principles provide valuable insights for anyone organizing toward solidarity economies. While designing a "Solidarity Skills" workshop for the BASE Fellowship, I used these principles as a foundation for material that incorporated Daniel Lim's Liberatory Culture framework and Fearless Culture's Culture Design Canvas. This session was an adaptation of a workshop I typically anchor in cooperative principles and values, but when working with groups not legally structured as cooperatives, I often find myself reframing those principles. In this case, I encouraged participants to assess their core values and translate them into organizational agreements, laying the groundwork for deeper culture-building efforts. #SolidarityEconomy #LiberatoryCulture #OrganizationalCulture #CooperativePrinciples #CultureDesign #BASEFellowship #TransformativeSolidarity

Wealth building is a key area of focus for the Latino Partnership Program of Oregon Community Foundation. How can Latino/x communities move beyond resilience and into a phase of community development where people can thrive? That was the central question of the two-day Conexiones summit that LPP organized recently in Lincoln City. The theme was Adelante (forward): Comunidad, Prosperidad, Poder (community, prosperity, power). As we mark Hispanic Heritage Month, we revisit responses we gathered to the questions, What does wealth look like? What does it feel like?
