Pastoral de Conjunto for Hispanic Organizations
Course Format and Approach
The course consists of 5 short videos, with a total running time of approximately 50 minutes. All content is available on the platform so that each organization can move through the course on its own, at its own pace and availability.
The course invites participants to recognize the challenges and opportunities facing organizations that serve the Hispanic community, and to discover the value of listening, collaborating, and building together, beyond each organization's particular mission.
The course culminates in a final questionnaire, and completing it is what matters most. It is how your voice and your community's voice will be reflected in the working document we will use at our planning meeting as Hispanic organizations. In other words: watch the videos at your own pace, use the activities to reflect, and the final questionnaire is the one thing that cannot be missed.
