What are Community Conversations?  We can answer that by also asking what’s the most effective method for involving an entire community involved in a big vision; healing a community, or; simply re-energizing a community which has lost purpose or meaning?

 

One method which has worked effectively in the past is structured Community Conversations.  CC's are gatherings for in-depth civil discourse (conversation intended to enhance understanding) in a community conversation the engagement is designed to be respectful, constructive, inclusive, collaborative, solution-focused and conducive to empowering healthy engaged communities.

 

Community Conversations provide a unique space in which people come together for thoughtful discussion and dialogue about shared values—past, present, and future.  

 

Since very few curricula teach us how to correctly structure a meaningful conversation, a simple methodology is needed and that is what we offer. Using this process, you will find that meaningful conversation is not only possible, it is, in fact, deeply appreciated, and for many participants the process is often transformational. Participants have expressed surprise that it was possible to “go so deep” with people they did not know and expressed gratitude for the experience.
