Goals (Windows and Mirrors)

This program will:

Present Unitarian Universalism as a faith that is lived out through identifying and acting on responsibility toward one another
Introduce the reality and the impact of multiple perspectives and multiple experiences as we live in this world
Use the metaphor of a window and a mirror to help children better understand themselves in relation to others
Present the windows and mirrors metaphor as an effective tool for understanding and living our Unitarian Universalist Principles
Guide children to identify and respect their own values, views and needs as well as those of others in a variety of contexts; teach that to do so is a faith practice
Provide children with practice in observation, interpretation and critical thinking
Develop children's empathy, open-mindedness and respect for differences, seen and unseen.
