R You Coming to ATFE - Call for Presentations
Dear Colleagues in the Association for Theological Field Education:
Your Steering Committee is pleased to announce the theme “R You Coming to ATFE” for our 37th Biennial Consultation to be held at the YMCA of the Rockies in Colorado January 24th – 27th, 2023. After the two plus years of a global pandemic and the need to shift and adapt to respond, your Steering Committee felt it would be a good opportunity to gather in person to Rest and Relax, explore how we have been Resilient, Reconnect with one another and Re-envision and Reinvent Field Education for new horizons.
We invite you to help with this planning and to think about the possibilities for your own participation as we gather. This letter is a call for proposed break-out sessions. We encourage you to propose a break-out session that fits within one of the three major categories of the gathering. Think broadly and build your presentation on any aspect of our work as theological field educators. What is important to you, or challenging to you, or inspiring to you that you might want to share with us in a session? What have you discovered in your own work that might prove resourceful for us all? What direction do you think we might want to consider taking in our work as a community of practice?
Please complete this form by October 15, 2022. All proposals will be received gratefully and considered appreciatively.
Break-out sessions can be fit under any of the three main categories:
1. Rest and Renewal
2. Resilience and Reconnect
3. Re-envision and Reinvent
