Application

We will soon start accepting applications for TWTP Workshop Facilitator 2011-12.

Job Description

Dear Applicant,

The Third World Transition Program is a transformational experience that helps transition incoming first year students into a new and rigorous social and academic environment. A part of the Third World Center’s mission is to provide students with the tools to navigate their experiences during their time at Brown. In order to fulfill this objective, your role as a workshop facilitator for TWTP would be to plan, organize, and facilitate open dialogue about the -isms that marginalized communities experience in society.  In addition to fostering a strong and tight community of first-years through conversation and participation, the milestones of this particular program has been to provide first-years the venues to creatively and honestly talk about how their intersections in identity will fashion a more understanding and equitable campus community. You will initiate the conversations that these students will take from the program and carry through the rest of their time at Brown and then beyond.

As a Workshop Facilitator, you will be responsible for the following:

  • Support the TWTP programming by planning the content and activities of one of the six -ism workshops.
  • Obtain and revise scripts and presentations from previous workshops.
  • Work closely with TWC staff and appropriate faculty in identifying resources for your workshop.
  • Attend regular facilitator meetings over the summer with other workshop facilitators (if not present in Providence, must be able call in during meetings).
  • Communicate with your co-facilitator to brainstorm ideas and activities for your workshop in a timely manner.
  • Submit drafts regularly for review and feedback from TWC staff, TWTPCs, MPCCs, MPC Friends, and MPCs to ensure that workshop content is appropriate and purposeful.
  • Attend workshop and facilitator training scheduled by the TWC staff and TWTPCs once during the summer.

We thank you for applying and hope that this TWTP will be more effective in creating a sense of community and affording the incoming class with the tools to successfully assist them in navigating their first year experience.

Sincerely,

Rev. Mathis
