MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES 2025 CIVIC SUMMIT  The Civic Summit 2025: Be the Change, aims to empower civic leaders dedicated to making a positive impact in Boston

BOSTON - Friday, April 11, 2025 - Today, Mayor Michelle Wu announced the Civic Summit 2025, a full day event focused on uniting neighbors, civic leaders, and non-profit advocates. The Civic Summit, first hosted by the Mayor’s Office of Civic Organizing in 2024, will return on Saturday, June 7 at Boston University Questrom School of Business. The theme for this year’s Summit is “Be the Change,” which reflects the City’s continued focus on community-driven progress and making Boston a home for everyone. Building on the success of the 2024 event, Civic Summit 2025 will feature a panel discussion on the theme, a networking lunch, and breakout sessions led by subject matter experts, including faculty from Boston University.  Registration and a full agenda for the free event will be released on Wednesday, April 30 on boston.gov/civic-summit-2025. Mayor Michelle Wu will join the Civic Summit for a featured fireside chat, this year in conversation with Dart Adams, a Boston-based journalist, researcher, lecturer, and host of the podcasts Dart Against Humanity and Boston Legends.  “The Civic Summit is a powerful reminder of our commitment to strengthening connections and continuing to be a welcoming city for all,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “By having this unique platform to spark meaningful conversations with our community members, we’re able to learn, share, and continuously drive this collaborative effort, building a better future together.” “It’s exciting to bring the Civic Summit back,” said Nathalia Benitez-Perez, Director of the Mayor’s Office of Civic Organizing. “Last year’s Summit was an incredible moment of connection, and the positive feedback we received from community members inspired us to start planning this year’s event as soon as the last one ended. Throughout the year, we’ve had the opportunity to nurture the relationships and momentum built at the Civic Summit, and our team has been committed to making this year's event bigger and better. We’re also thrilled to continue our partnership with Boston University, this year with the generous support of the Questrom School of Business. Their belief in the Civic Summit’s vision has been instrumental in bringing this event to life.”  The Office of Civic Organizing is proud to continue working with Anais Summer Day, a woman-owned event planning company led by Anais Ramos, who returns for a second year as lead event planner. Courtney Boston, Founder and CEO of HERVISION Media and Co-founder of WWOC Media, will serve as the lead host. The event is once again supported by valued partner Boston University.  “Boston University is proud to partner once again with the City of Boston in hosting this year's Civic Summit at the Questrom School of Business,” said Dr. Melissa L. Gilliam, President of Boston University. “Questrom’s dynamic environment of innovation, leadership, and collaborative thinking provides an ideal setting for meaningful dialogue. We proudly support Mayor Wu’s vision for an engaged and inclusive community and look forward to empowering conversations that will help shape a vibrant and equitable future for Boston.” The Civic Summit is an event designed to create a space where both emerging and experienced civic leaders share knowledge, build relationships, and inspire collective action. In its first year, the Summit reached its capacity of 200 attendees in under 12 hours. In response to the interest, the City has changed its location to expand this year’s capacity to welcome up to 300 participants.  “Last year’s Civic Summit was a unique and powerful event that brought together engaged residents from across the city to inspire one another, learn about civic involvement, and strengthen connections. I kept running into people from different parts of the city, some I hadn’t seen in years and others I had just met the week before. We sparked new conversations about how we could collaborate to improve access and opportunities in our neighborhoods,” said Eric Leslie, Founder and Lead Organizer of Union Capital and a Civic Summit 2024 speaker. “I left with business cards, handouts featuring new resources, and innovative ideas to bring back to my organization. I’m excited for this year's Civic Summit, which will be an even bigger version, offering more chances to learn, connect, and enhance the civic ties that support our community’s health, well-being, and opportunities.” “The Civic Summit was greatly needed in the City of Boston. It provided an excellent opportunity to learn about various organizations dedicated to making our city a thought leader,” said Danielle Johnson, Founder and CEO, SPARK FM. “From the fireside chat to the open discussions, the event fostered community and fellowship, allowing us to learn from one another.” “We need the Civic Summit now more than ever,” said Brianna Millor, Chief of the Community Engagement Cabinet. “This community gathering will be one of the many impactful spaces our city offers to constituents to be in good company to discuss how Boston will be the change we hope to see beyond our neighborhoods.” The Civic Summit is free and open to the public with registration. A light breakfast and lunch will be served. For more information visit boston.gov/civicsummit2025.  The Mayor’s Office of Civic Organizing is committed to collaborative partnerships and programs that encourage proactive community engagement, awareness, and service in our neighborhoods.

波士頓市長吳弭公佈鄰里咖啡時間 5/30到昆士高中

MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES 2025 NEIGHBORHOOD COFFEE HOUR SERIES

BOSTON - Friday, April 11, 2025 - Mayor Michelle Wu, the Office of Neighborhood Services, and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department today announced the dates and locations for the 2025 Neighborhood Coffee Hour Series in partnership with Dunkin’® and Star Market. The annual coffee hours will kick off in parks citywide starting April 29 and running until June 18. Mayor Wu’s Neighborhood Coffee Hours offer a unique opportunity to speak directly with the Mayor and staff from City departments about City services and resident concerns. Through personal conversations, and a suggestion box at each site, residents can share how the City of Boston can improve parks, public areas, and City services. “One of my favorite annual traditions is our neighborhood park hours to get City Hall out of City Hall into our neighborhoods, where residents can connect with City staff and share their feedback so that we can continue building a better home for all,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “I look forward to hearing from all of our community members and enjoying our community green spaces together.” Leadership and staff from the Community Engagement Cabinet will attend each coffee hour. Community members will have the opportunity to meet their neighborhood liaisons, who will deliver remarks focused on City improvements in each neighborhood. This includes but is not limited to information on the number of resolved 311 cases, street repairs, and the City's investments in housing, youth services, local businesses, and the arts. In its third year, the City will release the Community Input Survey to gather questions and feedback from constituents ahead of coffee hours. The Mayor and City leaders use these surveys to address neighborhood concerns at the individual coffee hours to ensure residents are informed on local issues they care about.   “Our Cabinet will have representation from each department including Boston 311, SPARK Boston, Mayor’s Office of Civic Organizing’s City Hall on the Go Truck, and the City’s Senior Advisor and Head of Faith-Based Initiatives, Will Dickerson, who engages with faith leaders in the neighborhoods. These departments represent the diverse communities in our City and will be present to help with any concerns or questions,” said Brianna Millor, Chief of the Community Engagement Cabinet. “This year, the Office of Neighborhood Services is excited to deepen our role in organizing Neighborhood Coffee Hours with the Mayor,” said Lindsey Santana, Executive Director of the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services. “I encourage residents from all neighborhoods to join us, invite a family member or friend to meet your neighborhood liaison, connect with cultural advisors, and enjoy an iced coffee from our sponsor, along with a free plant from the Parks and Recreation Department.” A neighborhood staple known for bringing the community together over a cup of coffee, Dunkin’ is back to fuel the conversation with iced coffee and donuts. Dunkin’ will also provide lawn game activities for attendees, gift card giveaways, and the opportunity for residents to win a raffle prize. Free flowering plants will be provided by the Boston Parks and Recreation Department, while supplies last. Fresh fruit will be provided by Star Market.   “Boston’s parks are more than just green spaces—they are the heart of our communities, where neighbors connect, and ideas take root. Hosting the Neighborhood Coffee Hours in our public parks underscores their vital role in fostering community, resilience, and well-being,” said Brian Swett, Chief of Climate Officer for the Environment, Energy, and Open Space Cabinet. “These gatherings provide an opportunity to hear directly from residents about how we can continue to enhance and protect our open spaces, ensuring they remain welcoming, vibrant, and climate-resilient for generations to come.” All coffee hours will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. If it rains, there is an alternate rain location for each event.

              (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓綜合報導) 美中醫學交流學會、臺灣星奇兒創藝協會等機構在哈佛醫學院附屬貝斯以色列女執事醫療中心 (BIDMC)支持下，4月6日假該中心謝爾曼禮堂舉辦「提高自閉症意識 (Advancing Autism Awareness) 」研討會，闡述相關研究進展，以及藝術治療案例，讓人看到更多希望。

             美中醫學交流學會會長，也是麻省總醫院「突觸 (Synapse)」研究室主任的孔學君博士指出，選擇現在舉辦這會議，既是因為4月2日是國際自閉症日，也有鑑於全世界自閉症患者人數增加迅速，他們希望促使更多人關注、認識這病症，並了解到即使是已跨入成人階段的自閉症患者，仍然有機會得到大幅度改善。

             會議2天的議程，內容非常豐富，哈佛醫學院本科醫學教育副院長David A. Hirsh做開幕致詞後，哈佛醫學院神經學副教授Ann Neumeyer以「自閉症的神話與實證」為題，發表主題演講。她深入探討了自閉症在性別、痛覺、骨質及發燒等方面的科學研究與實地觀察之間的差異及關連。

             Ann Neumeyer指出，大多數人以為自閉症是1943年由Leo Kanner提出的，但實際是1925年由一名俄羅斯兒童心理學家Grunya Efimovna首先描述的。她的病歷敘述，和現代人認知的自閉症標準非常接近。

           自閉症患者對社交活動沒興趣，男女比率為4:1，兒童患者感覺不到疼痛，也都不符實際情況。另一個迷思是自閉症是一種兒童時期的症狀，但2017年的一項調查發現，美國約有5.4百萬名成人患有自閉症，佔總人口的2.21%。

             Ann Neumeyer表示，研究學者們現在研究骨質密度，熱反應，社交行為等對自閉症患者的神經訊息傳遞影響，希望找出更多改善自閉症的方法。

             會議主席孔學君以「自閉症的新型個體化方案」為主題作綜論。她從2000年以來，美國境內自閉症患者人數增幅高達312%，75%需要終身照顧，美國為此每年花費1300億美元說起，談到聚焦基因、微生物組、眼動追蹤，腦電圖，影像及人工智能生物標誌等多維指標，勾勒個體化精準治療的可能路徑。她指出，自閉症是一組神經發育障礙問題，她正在做基於微生物組和腸腦軸研究證據的個體化醫學及教育方案研究。

              研討會共同主辦方之一的富蘭克林基金會創辦人屈建平，在會中放映了他所拍製的「顏色的細語」記錄片，描述自閉症患者Sophia在家人關愛中發揮藝術天份，滿18歲時獲得位於波士頓的ArtLifting藝術經紀公司簽約，成為藝術家的過程。觀眾在片中可以看到自閉症患者家人面對的照顧挑戰，以及將來難以持續照顧的擔憂。

屈建平、郝景秀夫婦說明，他們以自閉症為主題，共拍有4部片，「顏色的細語」是第2部，由於片中提及的ArtLifting座落在波士頓，他們特地選映這部片，希望能幫助更多自閉症藝術家。

                  研討會協辦方之一是台灣星奇兒創藝協會。該會創辦人陳穎君和遠志教育創辦人宋永麒以「來自內心:藝術教育對自閉症兒童發展的影響及重要性」為題闡述。

                     陳穎君等一行8人，藉由上泉混凝土創辦人劉月琴的贊助100萬元，來到波士頓，和慈濟互動，和哈佛交流，分享她創辦星奇兒創藝協會的緣由，以及成果。

                   在小學擔任資源班特教老師期間，她深刻認識到臺灣   9   年義務教育有缺失，自閉症學生得不到有效訓練，難有成長機會，於是藉由自己主修視覺商品設計的經驗，設計了一套「加法教育」，透過藝術創作、戶外表演等方式，配合行為規範要求，啟發了學生們潛力，循序漸進的，從更願意和其他人互動，到甚至融入正常生活。

陳穎君的星奇兒創藝協會從2015年成立迄今，成績備受矚目，尤其是她的做法，甚至能夠幫助已是成年人的自閉症患者，都有所改善、

                    陳穎君的案例分享，在當天的會議中引發熱烈迴響，不少與會家長希望波士頓的自閉症患者也有機會嘗試「加法教育」。尤其是家有自閉症患者的家庭，聽到自閉症患者即使已經長大年人，仍然可以改善，感到莫大欣慰。她透露，孔學君博士正在和她研究組織國際服務團隊，開辦「大手牽小手」計畫，希望幫助更多自閉症患者及其家人。

                   這場為期2天的研討會，還有哈佛醫學院精神醫學博士Walid Yassin講談”神經多元化，張眉博士講談＂自閉症智能與人工智慧：通向理解之路＂，申論ChatGPT，Deepseek， 定製化的LLMs (大型語言模型)等人工智能工具，可以成為解碼和詮釋神經多樣性表達的有利助手。

註冊會計師徐晉平談”有特殊需要家庭的財務計畫”，麻省總醫院孔建談”給自閉症患者及父母的身心靈整合療法”，來自紐約的行為治療師潘柏談” 基於績效的訪談綜合應急分析可以為有效且具有社會意義的基於技能的治療提供信息”。張瓅允法學博士介紹＂自閉症譜系障礙：特殊需要組織及特殊需要信託＂，

會中另外放映了紐約大學電影學院學生黃羽婕執導，得獎的微電影”玻璃”，研究生陳文蕊拍攝的”雷蒙的數學與音樂（Raymond’s math and music）”。

                          ２場實際案例由波士頓的王睿萌，臺灣的陳弈宏，分享他們各自的自閉症狀患者成長經歷。

王睿萌原本重度自閉，如今不但即將碩士畢業，擔任數學老師，還在麻省總醫院研究期間成為眼動指標體系及模型的主要發明人，申請專利，製造成工業化產品。他這天還展示了唱歌、演奏、畫畫才能。

陳弈宏則是自幼發育遲緩，步態不穩，如今不已經在讀特殊教育碩士，還擅長繪畫，能說法語，會打少林拳，甚至還想交女朋友。

患有馬氏症候群，脊柱側彎嚴重，高度近視，有語言障礙的重度自閉症患者陈泓亘，接著也在他父親，星奇兒創藝協會董事長陳傳宗，以及協會理事長陳穎君的陪同下上台，即席創作，展示他的繪畫天份，讓座中出席者感動得難以言喻。

會中，主辦人孔學君特別感謝了出席嘉賓，有豐富經驗與經歷的美國國際教育聯盟共同主席李建生博士，會末她呼籲社會理解、接納，支持自閉症患者，珍惜他們的與眾不同，以包容、關愛之心，幫助他們充分發揮潛力，為社會做貢獻，共享美好生活。 (更新版)
