Critical Conversations 101

UWPIAA
February 20, 2021

Welcome to Critical Conversations (CritConvos).

CritConvos are virtual webinar-style programs exploring various topics relevant to Up with People alumni. Each episode features a panel of pre-selected alumni in conversation with an alumnus(a) host and a non-alumnus(a) moderator facilitating discussion—a la your favorite TV talk show. 

Similar to a TV show, alumni attendees tune in and are able to watch and listen—but additionally, alumni can participate and ask questions using the Q&A box. The episodes take place on a Zoom Webinar format: attendees are not able to unmute or turn their camera on—feel free to join us in your pajamas, no matter the time of day!

CritConvos require advance registration, and are always shared via UpBeat and the Facebook group. Registration links for the Identity session are below.
