"Flyway of Life" highlights how different environments are important for bird populations along the Atlantic Flyway. Featuring wildlife scientists, conservationists, and naturalists, the film explores several different ecosystems along America's easternmost migration path—showing how different habitats are interconnected. From Canada's frozen tundra to the lush Costa Rican jungle, viewers will see how birds connect both our ecosystems and our own relationship with the natural world. Tomas Koeck is an award-winning filmmaker, Canon USA-backed photographer, speaker/presenter, and expeditionist. He's a storyteller, an environmentalist, and, most importantly, an optimist. He has been on assignment for National Geographic, Smithsonian Channel, PBS Nature, and others covering stories throughout North America and seeks to give a voice to wildlife through journalism, storytelling, and advocacy. The exhibition received support from Sacred Heart University Media & the Arts, in partnership with The Explorers Club New England Chapter, Canon USA, the Connecticut Audubon Society the National Audubon Society and the Nancy Spofford Yerkes Foundation. Tomas Koeck, a Sacred Heart alumnus, received a 2024 Connecticut Sea Grant Arts Support Award for his Flyway of Life project, which supported the publication of a companion book to the film.

This session will focus on the American education system, where the boundaries between faith and government have long been contested. The United States was founded on the principle of religious freedom alongside the vision of an independent government. Yet, from prayer in schools to the design of public curricula, the role of religion in education continues to spark nationwide legal battles, political debates, and community concern. These questions not only test the meaning of the First Amendment but also shape how students, families, and educators experience schooling today. This dialogue invites participants into a thoughtful, small-table conversation facilitated by the UConn Democracy and Dialogue Initiative. Together, we will examine how religion and education intersect, and reflect on what these debates reveal about the challenges and promises of democracy in our time.Dinner will be providedThis dialogue is organized by the Democracy & Dialogues Initiative Student Fellows (https://humanrights.uconn.edu/areas-of-focus/democracy-dialogues/fellows/)
