Our project idea is to learn about the culture of surfing while also having fun with it! We plan on meeting to discuss how surfing came to be and to recognize those who founded it and helped it become a popular hobby/lifestyle! This project aligns with Exeter’s Community Values by fostering an inclusive, respectful, and globally conscious mindset. We will discuss how it encourages empathy and understanding through the lens of surfing culture, while challenging norms and striving for positive change. By engaging with diverse voices and perspectives from the surfing community, we will promote an environment where everyone feels welcome to participate, learn, and grow, which is central to Exeter's core mission of creating a respectful and supportive environment for all. We also hope for this CVP to be just as relaxing for students to come and learn as it is to actually surf!
