Despite our differences, how can we find connections with others and appreciate the value that different perspectives bring to our community? What does it mean to build bridges between people? How does it feel to make connections with others? How does it feel when there is a barrier to connecting with others? What does my community need to improve to build bridges across difference? How can we communicate better to tear down walls between us? What can our communities do to have conversations across difference in a respectful way? Resources are available on the Racial Unity Team website to help teachers and students with this theme: https://racialunityteam.com/art-and-poetry-challenge .
