About this event

  • 2 hours

Welcome to Community Conversations - Inter Faith! Join us for an evening of dialogue and connection with members of various faith traditions in our community. This in-person event will take place on Tue, Aug 27, 2024 at 6:00 PM at Noblesville First United Methodist Church. Come together to share experiences, learn from one another, and foster understanding and harmony among different beliefs. Let's celebrate diversity and unity in our community through meaningful conversations. We look forward to seeing you there!

Community Conversations is a chance for our community to listen to and talk with each other. The goal is civil conversation, increased understanding, and widening perspectives that result in a more welcoming and inclusive community.

Every Community Conversation will be facilitated by a trained Table Host and include a conversation guide to help ensure an enjoyable and constructive conversation.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Community Conversation?

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

Who can participate?

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

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

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

Does participating cost anything?

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.

What will we talk about?

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.

Who will be at my table?

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

Are there ground rules for the conversation?

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.

What if a participant attacks or belittles others?

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.

Can I share feedback about the experience?

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.

Will the conversation be recorded?

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.

Who are the organizers? Is this a political event?

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.
