Description

This year, FutureHeights and Friends are bringing you a conversation-based forum series that brings Heights residents together to talk about topics that matter to us all. We are excited to welcome our Heights friends and neighbors to our third Crowdsourced Conversations forum on the topic of community safety happening Wednesday, August 31 from 7pm-8:30pm at Denison Park's picnic pavilion (1015 Quarry Road). We will have opening speakers, but the majority of our time together will be spent in small group discussions. Just as always in this series, we will be relying on the crowdsourced responses from our housing survey to craft small group discussion questions.   ** The survey closes July 27th - fill it out here! Please share the link with your neighbors ** ALL ARE WELCOME! There is no cost to attend. Pre-registration strongly preferred. _____________________________________________________________ HOW THIS SERIES FLOWS Each forum will have a pre-survey for you to fill out. We will use your answers to help formulate discussion topics for forum night. During each forum, participants will enjoy the company of small breakout groups where, with the assistance of facilitators, they will dive into the questions generated by survey respondents. After small group discussion, we will reconvene as a group-at-large to share what we talked about. And even after we say our goodbyes, we will keep in touch and keep the conversation flowing, build community connections, and continue to brainstorm actionable ideas. 2022 SERIES TOPICS & DATES: #1: Sustainability – Wednesday, April 27th from 7pm-8:30pm at Coventry PEACE #2: Housing & Neighborhood Preservation – Tuesday, June 28th from 7pm-8:30pm at Forest Hill Church #3: Community Safety – Wednesday, August 31st from 7pm-8:30pm at Denison Park’s picnic pavilion #4: Civic Engagement – tentatively end of October (more details soon) More details here.
