SPECIFIC ISSUES CONVERSATIONS • Someone names a topic that they would like to explore more with a group of people. • People choose the topic that they are interested in and form a circle to begin conversation. • NOTE: • If the group gets larger than about 16, consider splitting the group in two. • People can leave one group and go to a new group, following their interest at any time. • The person who calls the conversation topic becomes a host leader. The host leader has four responsibilities: • 1. Help the group stay on topic • 2. Ensure equal airtime • 3. Help the group consider the next step actions and if/how to take this conversation back to the community • 4. Complete a conversation report • The venue will stay open for an extra hour after our official closing if you would like to continue the conversations and planning.
Specific Issues Conversations- Facilitators may participate as residents
How To Have A Community ConversationDisagreements generate the best solutions...if everybody listens. • Agree not to try to change each other's minds. • Start by connecting at a human level. • Take turns talking and make room to hear from everybody. • Clarify data sources, but don't get stuck arguing about facts. • Take a breath. • It is okay to talk about your pain, frustration, sadness, or anger about a personal experience. • Be respectful. • Be gracious. • Stay in it . • Expect action.
