Media, Communications & Arts

While doing good work is important, in order to complete the cycle of action and reflection the work of telling our stories is essential. The Media, Communications and Arts Working Group serves to facilitate the telling of the story of what's happening in and around the Beloved Community Center. The question that has framed our work is: How do we adequately, appropriately, and effectively tell the story of what is happening in and around the Beloved Community Center to those within the BCC circle, around Greensboro, and beyond? Utilizing various communications tools, including print, online, alternative and mainstream media, the Media, Communications, and Arts Working Group seeks to amplify the stories that are emerging out of our work building the beloved community in Greensboro and beyond.

The Beloved Community Center staff, board, and some volunteers went to Dudley Inn in Kernersville for a weekend of retreat, deepening our relationships to one another and our commitment to the work. During the course of our day and a half retreat, over 35 board members, staff members, volunteers, and community partners joined our circle of discussion. We truly had an intergenerational gathering, from 16 year old teens to almost 80 year old seniors. Everybody's contribution was so meaningful and so important, including written reports, rich working group discussions, spiritual practices, sharing personal stories, poetry, music and priceless bonding and fellowship.
