Café con
Leche Proposal Form
During your planning, please consider that we will be
looking for topics that intersect with the needs and issues of an
aspect of the Latino/a and Hispanic community or experience. Go beyond
what has always been done and ask yourself and your organization, why
this would make a great Café. How does it relate to those in the Latino
Community? What can/will it teach to those who attend the Café and want
to learn about Latinos and _______?
Also a topic does not have to be geared towards all Latinos; specific
cultural pieces, social issues, crossovers, nationalities, and
identities are totally appropriate.
Consider the following example of a planning process:
Idea for Topic Ask why this topic as a Café Create the Connections
Final Idea.
Some themes can
be:
- Latino/as in the US
- Latino/as in Higher Education
- Latino/as & Identity
- Latino/as & Politics
- Latino/as & Metal Health
- Latino/as at UVM
- Latino/as & Other Racial/Ethnic/Cultural
groups
- Latino/as & Other Identities (sexual
orientation, religion, politics, ethnicity, gender, etc.)
Remember these are very broad themes. Feel free to get as
specific and narrowly focused as you would like. If you have an idea
don’t try to force it into one of these themes, and don’t abandon it.
This list is by no means all inclusive, and is a living thing which
will grow as you and others bring new ideas and topics to light.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns feel free to email the
Executive Board at alianza@uvm.edu.
