Phase 1: Breaking the Ice

A conversation to enlighten the Lehigh community members about the upcoming week. The conversation will be a safe place for people to share their concerns and hopes for the week. Food will be provided (first come, first serve).

Phase 2: Wall of Hate

(March 28th through the 30th) A wall will be built and serve as a canvas for students and community members to share negative experiences during their time at Lehigh.

Phase 3: Breaking Down the Wall

After seeing the hateful and hurtful words that have been visually presented to us by our own community, the goal is to invite everyone to come together and break down the Wall of Hate. We will physically tear down the words that may have caused us pain. 

Phase 3, Part 2: Conversation of Breaking Down the Wall

Immediately following the break down of the wall, there will be a conversation with the community as to what this experience has meant to them. Food will be provided. 

Phase 4: The Wall of Healing

Next, the capstone team will build the Wall of Healing. The wall of healing will be used to help people paint what they hope that our Lehigh community to be in the future. Or how the Lehigh community has helped them move past their pain and into a better future.

Phase 5: Where Do We Go From Here?

The last phase of the Without Walls capstone project is a conversation which will hopefully turns into a campus-wide conversation. 

We want to give the community a chance to reflect on the past week, while also providing everyone with an opportunity to start making a tangible plan about how our community will represent the depictions on the Wall of Healing.
