Question 1

What is a Community Conversation?

Accepted Answer

Community Conversation is a collaborative effort to encourage more conversations in our personal and community lives. Through conversations and the relationships they build, we take steps to bridge the divides that so many of us are feeling. Community Conversations provide space to build connections

Question 2

Who can participate?

Accepted Answer

Anyone who lives or works in Noblesville, age 16 or above, is invited to the conversation.

Question 3

Are there materials I need to look at ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

No preparation is required—just a genuine interest in building connection and understanding through conversation.

Question 4

Does participating cost anything?

Accepted Answer

No. The event is free, but registration is required as space is limited. This is free for all participants and requires only that you come ready to engage in conversation.

Question 5

What will we talk about?

Accepted Answer

We will provide you with a conversation guide to help ensure an enjoyable and constructive conversation. Participants at each table will discuss the same topic and follow the same guide. However, each conversation will be unique as we encourage everyone to add their voice and perspective.

Question 6

Who will be at my table?

Accepted Answer

You will randomly be assigned a table in hopes of creating groups that include people with different backgrounds and experiences.

Question 7

Are there ground rules for the conversation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Everyone is asked to review and agree to conversation guidelines that ensure everyone is heard and valued. You'll also receive a conversation guide to follow along.

Question 8

What if a participant attacks or belittles others?

Accepted Answer

Don't forget; those who have chosen to join this event because they care about our community, too — they want to have a good conversation just as much as you do! But in the unlikely event that a participant behaves inappropriately, we have trained hosts at each table to help.

Question 9

Can I share feedback about the experience?

Accepted Answer

We love feedback! After the Community Conversation, we ask you to complete a quick survey. We will also provide guidance on honoring others and sharing testimonials and social media posts that could inspire others to join a Community Conversation in the future.

Question 10

Will the conversation be recorded?

Accepted Answer

No. All table conversations are private. We ask all participants to respect one another and only share their reflections, not others. You may choose to share your learnings and thoughts during the final portion of the event. This can help inspire others.

Question 11

Who are the organizers? Is this a political event?

Accepted Answer

The event is a project sponsored by the Noblesville Diversity Coalition (NDC), a 501(c)3 nonprofit educational organization. It aims to raise awareness and promote understanding of diverse perspectives and experiences in support of NDC's mission.
