Call for Proposals: Anne Frank Project's 15th Annual Social Justice Festival

Buffalo State University's Anne Frank Project will host its 15th annual AFP Social Justice Festival Wednesday and Thursday, October 4 and 5.

This year's theme is AFP 2023: Ideas + Action = Justice. We are actively seeking proposals from a variety of disciplines to share their expertise, skills, and artistry with university students, faculty, staff, and surrounding community members that will engage diverse communities in teachable ways to respond rather than react. Ideas without action require no courage, no research, and no truth. When ideas are followed up with action, positive impact becomes possible. This is a "response" not a reaction. The Anne Frank Project’s annual festival is the ideal platform for teaching people how to respond versus react to their worlds—this is the only way to make positive personal and social change: justice.

AFP invites presentations, workshops, and performances reflecting on this year's theme. In keeping with the kinesthetic and experiential pillars of the Anne Frank Project, we ask that all session proposals be crafted as one-third theory and two-thirds practice. Encourage your colleagues, friends, and family to share their gifts at Buffalo State University's campuswide signature event. Proposals are due Wednesday, May 24. Submit your proposal today!

For regular updates on the 15th annual Social Justice Festival, please visit our website and follow us on Instagram @annefrankproject.

Please email Jonise Hall, AFP assistant director, with questions.
