04. Conferences/Seminars/Lectures
1. Interdependence Day - September 12, 2003 "ID2003"
While September 11 is a solemn day of reflection and remembrance, a group of international and U.S. leaders have designated September 12th as a day of hope, celebration, and civic participation. At SBU, we will mark the day with art, music, food, speakers, and workshops on the relationships between democracy and global interdependence. We will explore together how our national independence must take into account global interdependencies.
The day seeks to help "activate democracy" on our campus and in our communities through art, music, and workshops. Workshops on "Work in a Globalized World," "Citizenship Skills," "Dialogues across Differences" and a "Primer on Globalization" are designed to provide ideas and resources for becoming active and informed citizens in an interdependent world.
Food, art, and lecture will take place in SAC Ballroom A 12:00-2:15); Workshops will be held in SAC meeting rooms from 2:30-4:15.
