Building Democracy in Your Community
Participants will learn why collaboration is critical for community improvement, and why engaging the broader community in conversations about its future is critical to developing that collaboration.
Workshop participants will leave prepared to host a series of community meetings designed to build the civic infrastructure necessary for collaborative planning and action. These preliminary activities prepare communities to develop the partnerships necessary to achieve successful, sustainable community and economic development projects. The workshop will provide tools, techniques, and materials that can be used in local communities by governments, nonprofits, and civic organizations.
