At BLCI, we value our students’ ability to explore their own identities and their backgrounds to help them better understand the importance (and the impact) of their educational journey. We encourage our students to understand where they came from to see where they are going.
This semester our students participated in a “Circulo de Mujeres” and a “Circulo de Hombres.” The purpose of the “Circulos” is to provide students with a space to explore their identities as male, female, Latina/o, first generation, and other identities that can often give them strength or make them feel judged for at times.
With the help of University of San Diego undergraduate students, we were able to provide students with activities and discussion topics that led to very meaningful dialogues about topics such as education, class dynamics, struggles, and inspirational stories.
We culminated the “Circulos” at the University of San Diego where the Ethnic Studies Department Chair, Dr. Pulido, and his class planned an evening filled with dinner, dialogue, a college tour, and a review of the impact of the “Circulos.”
We find it very important to provide this valuable space to our students and we will continue our “Circulo de Mujeres” and “Circulo de Hombres” next semester.
