Dear Editor:
We believe Community Conversations is one way we can unite our community by building relationships by listening and learning from one another. Through conversations, we can take steps to increase our understanding, build connections with others, and bridge the divides that separate us. The goal is civil conversations, increased understanding, and widening our perspectives.
Community Conversations work like this:
- Gather and enjoy light refreshments and socialize
- Be welcomed by a representative from the Noblesville Diversity Coalition who will frame the evening
- After introduction and instructions, community members will move to a randomly assigned table.
- Before the conversation begins, we will review and ask all community members to commit to listening and sharing based on conversation guidelines
- Each table will engage in a 60-minute conversation guided by a trained Community Conversation Table Host
- The trained host will help guide pace and participation, ensuring equal opportunity for sharing and listening.
- The evening will come to a close with a brief large group reflection time allowing anyone to share insights and highlights from the discussion.
The goal is to work together to foster better ways to engage with one another and make Noblesville a more welcoming and inclusive community for all.
