 M.E.Ch.A. de UCD would like to extend an invitation to facilitate a workshop(s) at Fall Statewide. Statewide will be held on the UC Davis campus from October 19-21st. The theme is Movimiento: On the Borderlands, Under a New Sun. Workshop applications can be found online at http://mechaucd.weebly.com/formsvolunteer-info.html.

 Workshops are a great opportunity to share your knowledge and ideas with your community. We are looking for awesome, inspiring, make you wanna jump out of your seat and change the world type workshops! Some suggestions for workshop topics include, but are by no means limited to:
·      M.E.Ch.A. 101
·      Dream Act & Undocumented Issues
·      Rasquache Art: Stencils & Poster Making
·      Indigenismo
·      Queer Issues
·      Gender
·      Sex/Sexism
·      His/Her/My/Ourstory
·      Social Movements
·      Identity
·      Mental/Physical Health

 
If you are interested in facilitating a workshop but are not from a recognized M.E.Ch.A. chapter, you may still submit an application! We just ask that you ask for sponsorship from the recognized M.E.Ch.A. chapter closest to you.
 
The deadline to apply has been extended to Thursday, October 4th at 12pm. If you have any questions please e-mail mechastatewidefall2012@gmail.com We look forward to reviewing your application! 

P.S. In my opinion, Statewide = some pretty deep conversations, networking with awesome people and hearing from cool speakers. We’re also planning on having yummy food & cool entertainment! Please consider attending and/or volunteering! 

P.P.S. The conference registration fee is waived for all workshop facilitators, so apply & save yourself the $15-25. Unless you’re a high school or GED student, in which case the conference is free anyway :)
