Spring Street’s spring speaker series continues on March 31

Spring Street International School’s virtual spring speaker series continues this Thursday, March 31 from 6 to 7 p.m.

In the second of five sessions, Guisepi “Joe” Spadafora of the Spring Street class of 2001 will offer his insights and experiences on the gift economy. Joe describes his presentation this way:

What do dumpster diving, giving away free tea, and traveling in an old school bus all have in common? They’re all ways to get basic needs met through building relationships. Join us as we discuss how building relationships, both with people as well as the resources we use and consume, add concrete value to our lives.

Guisepi Spadafora traveled the country for more than a decade with Edna Lu, the Free Tea Bus offering free tea and conversation as a way to cultivate community through non-monetary interactions. As a Spring Street graduate (and valedictorian of the class of 2001), he was inspired by Ted and Peg and the ethos of the school to travel and be of service.

Advance registration is required to receive the Zoom link for the March 31 presentation.
