Building Communities through Dialogue
Different methods exist to engage people in dialogue for the purpose of building their capacity for civic engagement and to work together to develop communities that reflect the vision of all members. People who are informed and understand their community as a dynamic system of assets are better able to make the right decisions for the common good, for informed voting, and holding elected officials and authorities accountable. The methods discussed in this session (Study Circles, World Cafe, Open Source and Three Questions) are designed to increase listening, to promote learning across diverse backgrounds and help build consensus. These methodologies are building blocks to help people achieve greater access to resources and understand the underpinnings of what is working and not working within our society, and to build upon this understanding by working together through shared visions.
