BUILDING COMMUNITY IN A MULTI-ETHNIC ENVIRONMENT
"To build community," wrote Dr. Martin Buber, "you do not need moral geniouses but you do need people deeply committed to the creation of authentic interpersonal relationships which prepares people to go into the world and create genuine human community...All actual life is encounter." Dr. Keim presents the Five Characteristics of Genuine Human Community and compares and contrasts it to the Five Characteristics of what Buber called 'Mindless Collective'. This is a great program for residential life staff, greeks, and student athletes. Dr. Keim's academic work at the Master's and Doctoral level has been on the dialogical theory and community building or Dr. Martin Buber, Jewish existentialist and philosopher. This lecture works well in residence staff training venues, club and organization officers and members, and greek chapters.
