Each year the Viriginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry selects four Ball State faculty members to teach interdisciplinary seminars to students. Working together with community sponsors and leaders, each seminar group of faculty and students works to address specific needs in the community.
The Voice and Vision seminar examines the issue of poverty and seeks to build on community momentum to address the issue of poverty in Delaware County. Professor Fillwalk and her students worked with community partner TEAMwork for Quality Living in furthering its "Circles of Support" initiative, a relationship-based model originating from the Move the Mountain Leadership Center. Success of the "Circles" model will be shared, with the ultimate goal of furthering public education and community commitment to the reduction/elimination of poverty and to foster participation in this initiative.
