## **Welcome to The Art of Gathering!**

Using the book, *The Art of Gathering* by Priya Parker, as a primary text, this course will explore designing intentional and meaningful gatherings. Students will analyze a variety of gatherings, in-person, virtual, or hybrid, and learn how to effectively produce and promote gatherings to cultivate their own audiences or the IDM or NYU communities. By its end, students will design and host event(s), individually or in teams/groups, that apply the principles and practices learned throughout the course.
