Microgrant Ideation Sessions | Option 2

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:

• Thriving Models in Jewish Education
  
  How are you helping your learners thrive? Thinking creatively about education today and how we support our families to be their best selves, create deep relationships, feel a sense of accomplishment, and engage with their community.  
  
   

• Racial Justice
  
  Exploring racial justice through a Jewish lens by looking at it through one of the following four lenses.

  • Knowing: What are the structures that help learners explore challenging content while cultivating respectful and inclusive discourse
  • Believing: Exploring our own experiences with race and otherness
  • Doing: What we do to send inclusive messages, create inclusive spaces, etc.
  • Belonging: How do we help create a sense of belonging or thriving amongst Jews of color within our own institutions and beyond
    
     
• 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.
