In this session, we will uncover what belonging means and how it shifts in different contexts. Together, we will learn the theory of belongingness and how it applies in different contexts, the four types of belonging – self, foundational, group, and societal – and, why a sense of belonging is declining and how the data ties to a decrease in social wellness. With this context, we will determine what actions to take to advance belonging.

As a Tunisian, French, and American, Miriame has a deep experience translating between different perspectives and cultures. She was raised in a community of human rights activists from all over the world who shared with her their passion for advocacy and dialogue.

She studied International Economics and Development to understand how powerful international institutions use data, build models and impact developing economies and communities.

She worked in research for five years and co-designed and facilitated dozens of European dialogues under the direction of Dr. Minh Ha-Duong, a lead author of the IPCC’s reports. This institution was co-awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.

At Ethos, she is a Facilitator and the Manager of Ethos International.

Outside of Ethos, she is the founder of Speaking Justice. She helps leaders, educators, parents, and caregivers in rural areas create a culture of dialogue on race and other important issues.
