Microgrant Ideation Sessions | Option 1

Want to create a program around a certain topic but aren’t sure where to go with it? Or have a great microgrant idea and need help fleshing it out? Our microgrant ideation sessions helped educators delve into a topic and brainstorm with colleagues to clarify ideas.

This session focussed on the following microgrant areas of concentration:

• Digital Engagement
  
  Creating innovative and impactful digital engagement. Developing new ways to use technology to foster community at a time when the opportunity for gathering is not a given.
  
   
• Intergenerational Engagement
  
  Implementing new ways to support the older generations in our communities who might feel more isolated during this time. Working to empower multiple generations in a family to engage with Jewish education in creative ways.
  
   
• Gender Equity
  
  Create opportunities to promote fairness, equality, and safety for all genders.  Seek to build skills among staff, create awareness and a welcoming environment among learners, and/or address gender-related issues in Jewish life.
  
   

• Mental Health
  
  Supporting all ages as we individually and communally struggle with the aftershocks of COVID-19 and other stressors. Ideas that support mental health, wellness, and self-care.
