Thrive: Curating Environments for Vibrant Faith Communities
Mike King
How do we move from being programmers who do events and programs that tend to create mere connections with adolescents, to youth workers who craft environments where young people inhabit transforming space and sustained Christian formation? We will consider situated learning theory in the context of youth ministry and faith communities. Serving as a curator requires deep theological reflection and an inclusive posture, along with the acquisition and development of skills to shape an environment of transformation where young people can thrive in their faith formation. This workshop involves careful attention and intentionality to not only the explicit realities but also the implicit dynamics that shape who we are as a community of believers.
