The Library Development section of the State Library of North Carolina invites you to register to attend a supplemental continuing education opportunity as a part of the Forward Together: Communities Uniting Against Poverty project at the McKimmon Center in Raleigh. 

The first Forward Together event brought together libraries and community partners in an immersive three-day seminar to work collaboratively to tackle the challenges of serving people living in poverty, including a participatory poverty simulation. This second continuing education opportunity will have another poverty simulation--DAY 1 and a full day of training on how to effectively facilitate a Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS)--DAY 2. The benefit of these is a greater understanding of the daily reality of people living in poverty, through an experiential setting, empowering attendees and facilitators to interact with leaders from their community.

Workshop Location: McKimmon Conference and Training Center

• Free visitor parking is available using the Gorman Street entrance to the McKimmon Center. There are three smaller parking lots on each side of the Center that are reserved for University employees. Visitors are asked to park in designated visitor parking spaces in order to avoid ticketing.

This registration covers the actual poverty simulation on day 1 only.  There are no hotel/meal reimbursements for those only attending day 1.  Also, we are not offering mileage reimbursement for this workshop.  For those attending both days, please also register for the full day session on the 25th and for information about hotel/meal reimbursements.
