Welcome!
We are excited about convening our first-ever workshop on Zoom! This platform allows us to connect with returning and many new friends from around the world! We are looking forward to "DigniZooming" with all of you!
What makes this workshop so special?
-
This is a "co-created" workshop! This means it has grown out of the intellectual and creative contributions of many members of our HumanDHS community. We are deeply thankful to all who are sharing their time and energy to make this workshop meaningful and energizing for all!
-
This workshop is not a one-time event. Rather, it is part of a lifetime community-building effort aimed at cultivating mutually beneficial relationships and innovative ideas to stimulate constructive systemic change.
-
This is a transdisciplinary workshop. We are inspired by our participants from richly diverse backgrounds and experiences. This workshop is an opportunity to join others in understanding a wide range of perspectives about preventing and repairing humiliation while strengthening dignity in the world.
-
This workshop is highly participatory. Rather than lecture/presentations, we emphasize participation and conversation (Dignity + Dialogue = Dignilogues, rather than debate). Your participation is important to us. We hope you can join us for the entire workshop.
-
This workshop is a labor of love! HumanDHS does not have a paid staff, administrative assistance, or IT services. We are an "extreme, lean, green, but not mean" community, essentially a "do-it-together-with-dignity" community.
-
We do not charge a registration fee; however, we do have expenses (e.g., electronic services, communication expenses, etc.). If you would like to contribute, we warmly welcome your support according to your ability. Thank you!

- Thank you for your kind support and understanding if we encounter technical problems during the workshop. All of us will be doing our best to navigate the Zoomosphere with dignity!
