TRC Symposium "From Welcoming to Cooperation

From Welcoming To Cooperation

TRC's first annual symposium on March 15, 2024,  will assemble our accumulated lessons and knowledge about creating a cross-cultural community by harnessing the power and energy of creating music. Throughout this session, participants will learn, discuss, and share ideas that build on TRC's own experiences to produce a relationship-building toolkit. This toolkit will be created as the discussions happen so that participants will receive it at the end of the session.

If you work in the space of arts programming, nonprofit, community-building, mental health research, public health, any kind of institutional decision-making, or if you just love what TRC does, we think you will find this event very informative and inspiring.
