Hello everyone!
It was an exciting day for Human Rights Through Education. Connections were made, souls were searched, stomachs were filled, personalities were discovered, personal space bubbles were popped.
Our day consisted of breakfast (great omelettes), low ropes (we definitely got cozy), lunch date with Health in Action, discovering our personality types, making our HRTE facebook page (our friends include Jal and Tutu), eating some more, and talking about organizations, social justice, and the campus climate (and that every org can be a social justice organization in some way).
Fun fact: All 3 HRTE representatives here are INFPs (Introverted Intuitive Feeling Percieving). According to our table of personality types, INFPs are:
"Idealistic, loyal to their values and to people who are important to them. Want an external life that is congruent with their values. Curious, quick to see possibilites, can be catalysts for implementing ideas. Seek to understand people and to help them fulfill their potential. Adaptable, flexible, and accepting unless a value is threatened."
We are also all NF's aka DOLPHINS, who "lubricate the interpersonal fabric of an organization" and are "humanists, catalysts, focus on meaning of humanity's past and possibilities for the future."
What personality type are you, HRTE and friends?
We had a really great discussion about the future of HRTE and came up with a lot of ideas that we want to consider when we get back to campus. We want to strengthen what we have currently been doing, as well as look at other ways to reach out to the campus community at large, and work on creating an active culture of human rights within the fabric of the student organization community.
The day ended with a jigsaw-puzzle extravaganza with some members of Circle K. Our jigsaw puzzle consisted of a picture of BOTH Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus, as well as some flowers and butterflies. It was covered in glitter and glowed in the dark.
Does it get much better than that?
Sian and Julia
